The 2026 PSLE Mathematics format, at a glance
From 2026, PSLE Standard Mathematics follows the structure in SEAB syllabus 0008. This page summarises the paper structure and how Numi generates unlimited practice papers in the new format.
Paper 1 — no calculator (50 marks)
Booklet A carries 18 multiple-choice questions: ten 1-mark and eight 2-mark questions. Booklet B carries 12 short-answer questions of 2 marks each. Calculators are not allowed in Paper 1.
Paper 2 — calculator allowed (50 marks)
Paper 2 opens with five 2-mark short-answer questions, followed by ten structured or long-answer questions of 3 to 5 marks totalling 40 marks. Calculators are allowed.
What Numi generates
Numi writes complete 45-question, 100-mark papers in this structure on demand. Every question is machine-verified before serving, difficulty is calibrated to the 2014–2025 PSLE papers, and papers are labelled as a format preview until the first real 2026 PSLE allows recalibration.
