Key Mathematics programmes by level

Key Programmes

Level

Heuristics
- Acquire heuristics skills for problem solving through customised and differentiated packages

- Enhance critical thinking skills

- Practise good thinking routine through a 5-step approach to problem solving (Primary 1 and 2)

- Practise good thinking routine through a 4-step approach to problem solving (Primary 3 to 6)

All

ICT Infused Lessons
- Enhance students’ conceptual understanding and spatial visualisation skills through the use of Student Learning Space (SLS) and other ICT tools.

Partnership with Parents

  • Conducted Parents’ workshops for parents to better support their child at home.

  • Tips for parents:

    • Use the 4-step approach (P3 to P6) and 5-step approach (P1 and P2) when solving word problems

    • Use proper mathematical language and everyday objects to teach mathematics 

    • Encourage your child to revise constantly (e.g. use of Student Learning Space (SLS) and Koobits (P1 to P6) for self-directed learning at home)
