Learn Math, Live Math, Love Math!

Our Goals

Learn Math:

• To enable students to acquire mathematical concepts and skills and apply them in mathematical situations.

• To develop and support students’ cognitive and metacognitive skills in Mathematics for them to be problem solvers imbued with emerging 21st century competencies (21st CC).

Live Math:

• To enable students to see and appreciate the relevance of Mathematics in real life.

• To develop students to be life-long learners with the ability to think logically, abstractly, critically and creatively.

Love Math:

• To nurture in students the joy of learning and to foster their positive attitudes towards the learning of Mathematics through engaging learning experiences.

Math department Programmes & Events

LEARNING SUPPORT IN MATHEMATICS (Primary 1 to Primary 4)

The aim of Learning Support in Mathematics (or LSM) is to provide early intervention for students who require more guidance to attain the foundational knowledge and skills in numeracy required at their grade level. Students are supported by a qualified LSM teacher for all their Mathematics lessons.

FUN IN MATH (Primary 1 to Primary 3)

Fun in Math programme aims to stimulate excitement and enthusiasm in Mathematics by engaging students in mathematics related games and activities.

MATH SUPPORT PROGRAMME (Primary 1 to Primary 6)

There are 2 programmes designed to cater to the learning needs of our students. Through these programmes, the teachers are better able to customize and conduct Mathematics lessons at the pace which best suits the needs of the different groups of students.

(A) Pull-out Programme is conducted during curriculum hours to provide support to students who may need more guidance in acquiring Mathematics concepts and skills at their grade level.

(B) Remedial Programme provides after-school support to students who need additional guidance to reinforce the Mathematics concepts taught in class.

E2K Mathematics (Primary 4 to Primary 6)

The E2K Mathematics Programme aims to foster independence in mathematical thinking skills as well as to nurture the emerging 21st CC such as resilience, resourcefulness, critical and inventive thinking and effective communication skills.

Other Programmes

THINKING@PLAY

Thinking@Play aims to cultivate creative and critical thinking in students through Math games, helping them develop strategic thinking and problem-solving skills while being engaged in meaning play time.

MATHEMATICS OLYMPIAD COMPETITIONS

Mathematics Olympiad competitions provide our students with the opportunities to be exposed to intellectually challenging mathematical questions, to challenge and stretch their mathematical potential, to stimulate their interest and to ignite their passion in mathematics.

The school participants in the following Mathematics Olympiads annually:

• Raffles Mathematical Olympiad (RMO) organized by Raffles Institution

• Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools (APMOPS) organized by Hwa Chong Institution

• National Mathematical Olympiad Singapore (NMOS) organized by NUS High School

For all the above-mentioned competitions. registration information will be provided to students through their Math teachers. Students interested in participating should express their interest to their Math teachers once the details are shared.

The consent/registration form will then be sent to parents via Parents Gateway (PG).

To ensure the smooth processing of registrations, we request parents to strictly adhere to the registration deadlines set by the Math department.

CELEBRATING MATH DAY

Celebrating Math Day is a day set aside in each term from Term 1 to Term 3 to focus on Math activities and learning beyond the prescribed school syllabus. The focus theme for each term is different and there are a total of three main themes: Mathematician Day where the students learn about different mathematicians and their contribution; Economy Day where the students learn about economy related concepts and ideas and Measurement Day where concepts and ideas relating to measurements are shared with students.

MATH NOTICEBOARD CHALLENGE

The Math Noticeboard Challenge creates an opportunity for students to explore and enjoy math beyond the classroom. Conducted termly, it features different mathematical themes, such as Geometry and Measurement, and includes Math Fun Facts to spark curiosity and deepen students' interest.
