The Mathematics Department strives
to
-
provide our students with a sound foundation in
Mathematical concepts and skills necessary for problem solving
as well as for further study in the subject or in mathematics
related subjects.
-
develop in our students a positive attitude towards
mathematics, including confidence, enjoyment and perseverance.
-
promote a culture of continuous improvement and
learning among the mathematics teachers and students.
Differentiated Approach
We look into the different learning abilities of our students
by tailoring our programmes according to their needs. We collaborate,
share teaching ideas and resources with one another and explore
new teaching strategies, especially learner-centric teaching
approaches to help our students learn better.
For the weak students, we provide them with remedial programmes,
both during term time and the school vacation. Our average
students are involved in a peer tutoring programme in which
they are being tutored by their peers who are good in Mathematics.
We stretch our brighter mathematics students by providing
them with training for the Singapore Mathematical Olympiads.
We also encourage our Secondary 3 Express students to take
part in the Australian Mathematics Competition and our Secondary
2 Express students to take part in the International Competitions
and Assessments for Schools (Mathematics).
As part of our objective to increase ownership of learning
and promote active learning, mathematics students will use
the interactive on-line mathematics laboratories, HeyMath!
and Teaching Management System, to further explore mathematics
concepts taught and to test new ones.
