Mathematics

Vision

A community of confident and motivated pupils who are both effective problem solvers and team players.

Mission

To equip pupils with the necessary mathematical knowledge and skills for everyday life and for continuous learning in mathematics and related disciplines.

MOE Mathematics Curriculum Framework

   Spiral Approach Math Curriculum

Concrete Pictorial Abstract (C-P-A) Approach

Learning experiences in the classroom are designed based on the C-P-A approach. Concrete is the “doing” stage, using concrete objects to model problems. Pictorial is the “seeing” stage, using representations of the objects to model problems. Abstract is the “symbolic” stage, where pupils are able to use symbols to demonstrate understanding of problems. This approach helps pupils learn new ideas and build on their existing knowledge by introducing abstract concepts in a more familiar and tangible way. 

Math Learning Experiences

Math learning experiences can be diverse and engaging, involving problem-solving, hands-on activities, real-world applications, collaboration, technology, inquiry, and differentiation. Providing varied and meaningful math learning experiences helps to support students’ understanding of mathematical concepts, foster their problem-solving skills and build their confidence and competence in math.

Key Programmes and Activities

Learning Support for Math

Learning Support Programme for Mathematics (LSM) provides early intervention for Primary 1 and 2 pupils with weak numeracy skills.  The programme focuses on basic mathematical skills and concepts to consolidate a good foundation. It aims to build pupils’ confidence and positive beliefs in their ability to do Math.  The programme is also extended to P3 and P4 pupils who need to build their foundation skills in Mathematics.

Talent Development Programmes

Talent development programmes such as Olympiad Training aim to raise the potential of our high ability pupils and equip them with a repertoire of problem solving techniques and mathematical knowledge to solve the high order and non-routine problems.  This enables our pupils to hone their skills for competitions such as National Mathematical Olympiad of Singapore (NMOS) and Asia Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary School (APMOPS).

E2K Math Programme

The E2K Math Programme Singapore is a school-based enrichment programme for upper primary pupils who demonstrate exceptional ability in Mathematics. The curriculum units are investigative in nature and encourage pupils to work collaboratively on challenging tasks. It aims to develop confidence and independence in solving non-routine questions and promote reasoning and communication skills.

Math Games @ Recess

Every Monday, our Parent Support Group (PSG) members, together with our Math Ambassadors, set up games stations to pique the interest of our pupils. These Math Ambassadors are Primary 3 to 6 pupils who have a passion for the subject, and as an act of service, devote part of their recesses to help facilitate the activities. Students play with board games, card games and puzzles at different stations. Through games, we hope to motivate our pupils to recognize that learning Mathematics can be fun.

Professional Development

Our teachers constantly engage themselves in professional learning such as lesson study, open classroom, take online courses and attend workshops, seminars and conferences to deepen their pedagogy skills and knowledge and to develop themselves holistically.
