Overview of the Curriculum

Our Mathematics curriculum aims to develop students’ interest, understanding and acquisition of mathematical concepts and computational skills. Students learn mathematics in an engaging environment where they actively explore and experiment through discussions while working on mathematical activities. Through real-life and hands-on experience, observation and discussion, our Mathematics programme facilitates student learning in mathematical concepts and problem-solving skills in a stimulating environment.

Aims of the Curriculum

The overall aims of the Mathematics Education curriculum are to develop in students: 

1. the ability to think critically and creatively, to conceptualize, inquire and reason mathematically, and to use mathematics to formulate and solve problems in daily life as well as in mathematical contexts and other disciplines;
2. the ability to manipulate numbers, symbols and other mathematical objects; 
3. number sense, symbol sense, spatial sense, measurement sense and the capacity to appreciate structures and patterns; and 

a positive attitude towards mathematics learning and an appreciation of the aesthetic nature and cultural aspect of mathematics.
