Mathematics
Overall Aims
The overall aims of the Mathematics curriculum are to equip students with:
- 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;
- the ability to communicate with others and express their views clearly and logically in mathematical language;
- the ability to manipulate numbers, symbols and other mathematical objects;
- the ability to understand number sense, symbol sense, spatial sense, measurement sense and the capacity to appreciate structures and patterns;
- a positive attitude towards the learning of mathematics and an appreciation of the aesthetic nature and cultural aspects of mathematics.
Features of the School-based Curriculum
- We focus on cultivating learning habits in order to improve students’ learning effectiveness.
- Each topic is evaluated with continuous assessment, where students’ progress is regularly reviewed.
- In response to the differences in student abilities, there is a top-notch curriculum.
- Students are encouraged and trained to participate in mathematics competitions so as to enhance their interest and ability to learn mathematics.
