What can we learn from the 2026 PSLE Math paper? Let’s take a peek at a few of these PSLE math questions from Paper 1 and 2 and think about how to answer them.

The 3 PSLE math questions that we are going to look at are as follows:

2026 PSLE Math question on pattern

Let’s start with an all-time favourite – pattern questions. This year’s pattern question is pretty straightforward. We have some sticks that are arranged in a pattern and students need to complete a table based on what they see. Then, they are asked to deduce the total number of sticks that are used in a future pattern, Pattern 45.

Here’s the answer to this math problem:

PSLE Math 2026 question on height of cuboid

In this math problem, we’re given the total number of cubes that are used to form a cuboid. With the requirement that the cuboid has to have a square base, we need to find all the possible heights of the cuboid.

This is quite a fun problem to solve and here’s the solution to this volume problem!

PSLE Math 2026 question on ratio and overlapping triangles

In this math problem, we’re given three triangles with parts that overlap. The ratio of the area is 1:5:9 and we need to find the ratio of the shaded part to the total unshaded part. This question is not that challenging, but it can be a rather tricky one.

Here’s the solution to this problem.
