Upper primary refers to the educational stage typically covering grades 4 to 6, where students are usually aged 9 to 12 years. This phase builds on the foundational skills learned in lower primary, focusing on more complex subjects such as mathematics, science, and language arts. During upper primary, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing them for the transition to secondary education. Teachers often use a variety of teaching methods to engage students, including group projects, hands-on activities, and technology integration to enhance learning experiences.
