Vision
Nurturing self-directed learners who are competent in mathematical problem-solving and find joy in learning Mathematics
Instructional Programme
The Mathematics Department offers:
- Mathematics (all levels and streams)
- Additional Mathematics (Upper Secondary levels and streams)
- Principles of Accounts (Upper Secondary levels and streams)
The Department’s instructional strategies include:
1. Teaching problem-solving strategies and heuristics (e.g. Polya’s problem-solving process)
2. Using e-Pedagogy (e.g. inquiry learning using SLS packages and assessment for learning using tools like Wayground and Desmos)
3. Using Differentiated Instruction (DI)
4. Using Problems in Real World Context (PRWC) to make connections to everyday applications
Level-wide Programme
The STEM Carnival is organised as part of the Secondary 2 STEM Learning Week in collaboration with the Science Department.
