Mathematics

Mission
To inculcate positive attitudes towards the learning of Mathematics and cultivate analytical and logical thinking for problem-solving.

Vision
To nurture logical, critical and independent problem-solvers.
Programmes
Learning Approach
In the teaching and learning of mathematics, the school believes in building a strong foundation in the mathematical concepts in our students. We guide our students in the acquisition of mathematical concepts and skills through activity-based lessons using the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (C-P-A) approach. Students are given concrete experiences to help them develop a sense of numbers, make connections and subsequently become better problem-solvers.




We believe that students discover, reason and communicate their thinking as they work in collaboration with their peers. Through collaborative learning, students build confidence in problem-solving, foster an interest towards learning mathematics and importantly, acquire deeper knowledge in mathematics.

Targeted
at the lower primary levels, Learning Support for Mathematics
(LSM) is an early intervention effort aimed at providing additional
support to students who do not have foundational numeracy skills and knowledge
to access the Primary 1 Mathematics curriculum. Identified students will be
supported by specially trained LSM Teachers through activity-based lessons
focusing on small successes to build on their motivation.
For
the middle primary levels, the Improving Confidence and Achievement in
Numeracy (ICAN) programme is a collaboration between schools and MOE
to support low progress learners students using intervention strategies and
models that are guided by research to tackle the 4 key issues: learning gaps,
language, motivation and memory. The lessons follow the FREMC structure –
Factual Fluency, Readiness, Engagement, Mastery and Consolidation.
Use of Games in Mathematics (P1 to P6)
Through the use of games, we strive to nurture students’ creative and inventive thinking. Games provide the opportunity for students to apply their reasoning in a fun and inviting environment, where learning through engagement is promoted.
Embedding games into the concrete-pictorial-abstract approach in Mathematics is purposeful, as students actively reinforce and hone their factual fluency and mathematical concepts. Also, games call for the need for our students to think out of the box as they devise creative and innovative solutions in the gameplay. Some examples of the games used during curriculum time are listed below.
