Teaching and Learning of Mathematics
The primary objective for the teaching and learning of mathematics in schools is to equip all students with a broad and firm foundation of knowledge and skills in mathematics. The central focus of the mathematics programme is problem solving. Excellence in mathematics has its anchor in problem solving which includes using and applying mathematics in practical tasks in real-life problems and within mathematics itself.These are valued in everyday living and in the workplace. Mathematics is also a subject of enjoyment and excitement, which offers students opportunities for creative work. When ideas are discovered and insights gained, students are spurred to pursue mathematics beyond the classroom walls.
Key Programmes
Thinking out of the Box (TotB)
To promote critical thinking , all P3 to P6 pupils would be working on 'TotB' questions as part of the Mathematics classroom instruction.
CODER (P1 & 2)
CODER is an acronym given for the five ways on how pupils can create questions from an original question. After the pupils have created the questions, they need to try and solve them too.
Maths Reinforcement Programmes
Mathematics is a hierarchical subject, where higher concepts and skills are built upon the more foundational ones. It is important that students are grounded in the basic concepts so as to be better prepared for learning of concepts of a higher level.
- Multiplication Mastery Programme (P2-5)
- AMMRS (P6)
- Maths Holiday Reinforcement Programme (P3 & P4)
Differentiated Instruction (P2, 3 & 4)
Classroom instruction is differentiated to meet the readiness level, interest level and learning styles of the students. The lessons consist of anchor activities and learning centres that cater to the mixed ability students.
