is math really just about practice?

Elementary Mathematics (E MAth)
Breaking down complicated math concepts into simple ABC
Many tutors emphasize that E Math is all about practice. However, I feel that E Math has to be understood using differentiated techniques to achieve firm understanding, which can then lead to mechanical practices with varied questions.
I strongly believe that once a student manages to understand, he/she will be hooked onto practicing math which will then be translated to quality results.
That being said, I have accumulated a vast amount of questions through my many years of teaching that are have been vital to equipping my students with knowledge on every type of question that may be tested, thus providing them with even more confidence to face their major exams.
I also believe in teaching E Math in smaller classes, where students are more comfortable to open up to us to ask questions & to learn to the utmost.

background on E Math (Mathematics)
Taken from: http://www.seab.gov.sg/content/syllabus/olevel/2017Syllabus/4048_2017.pdf
The syllabus (4048) is intended to provide students with the fundamental mathematical knowledge and skills. The content is organised into three strands namely, Number and Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, and Statistics and Probability. Besides conceptual understanding and skills proficiency explicated in the content strands, development of process skills that are involved in the process of acquiring and applying mathematical knowledge is also emphasised. These include reasoning, communication and connections, thinking skills and heuristics, and application and modelling; and are developed based on the three content strands.
