For Math, my child learns to…
Learning Experiences
Learning mathematics is beyond just route
learning concepts and skills.
Equally important are the Process Skills.
These processes are learned through
carefully constructed Learning Experiences.
Learning Experiences
To encourage students to be inquisitive, the learning
experiences must include opportunities where students
discover Mathematical results on their own.

Holistic Assessment Modes
Learning Experience Tasks
• Opportunities where students discover mathematical results on their own.
• Hands-on activities in class that help to deepen students learning of Mathematical concepts.
• Helps to provide feedback on child’s process of learning
Topical Review Tests
• Topic-based short tests
• Tested at the end of learning of topics
• Test students ability to recall and apply specific mathematical facts, concepts, rules and formulae.
Learning mathematics is more than just learning
concepts and skills.
Equally important are the process skills (logical
thinking and communication skills).
How can I help my child?
How can I help my child ?
Mathematics can be applied in day-to-day living.
Encourage your child to think mathematically in
everyday life by talking and role-modelling about the
ways mathematics can be used at home, at a
supermarket or at the playground.

Maths Games
Shopping is Fun!
• Comparison by price/
mass/cheaper/expensive (Financial
literacy)
• Counting of money (Addition/subtraction)
• Finding the cost of 2 times(Multiplication)
• Plan a menu within a budget (E.g making
a sandwich)
• Sensing of length/ mass/ volume
Cooking: Recipes
Art and craft
• What picture did you make?
• How many different shapes did you use?
• Can you name them?
• Tell me more about the shapes you had used.
• Does the size and orientation change the shape?
Newspaper articles & Brochures
Storybooks
Automaticity (Mental Calculation)
• Child should be able to mentally count and avoid using fingers.
• Emphasise on counting, number sense, reading numbers, addition, subtraction and multiplication of numbers.• Number sense- Getting them to guess how many
sweets are there in one handful• Counting- You have 5 sweets and I am going to give you
4 more, how many do you have now? (Encourage counting on from 5 rather than start from 1)
