1. Objective 1.1 stimulate the interest of pupils in the learning of mathematics; 1.2 develop pupils’ understanding and acquisition of basic mathematical concepts and computational skills; 1.3 develop pupils’ creativity, and their ability to think, communicate and solve problems; 1.4 develop pupils’ number sense and spatial sense, and their ability to appreciate patterns and structures of number and shapes; 1.5 enhance pupils’ lifelong learning abilities through basic mathematical knowledge.2. Mathematics Highlights The primary mathematics curriculum is divided into five learning dimensions, namely, Number, Shape and Space, Measures, Data Handling and Algebra. Our curriculum does not only aim at achieving the goals in learning mathematical knowledge and skills, but also emphasizes the developing of pupils’ positive learning attitudes, such as being serious in doing mathematics, being careful and having an exploring mind. Apart from that, pupils are required to cultivate good learning habits like careful calculation, clear presentation, independent thinking and self-checking. We also believe that through real life examples, observation, measurement, drawing, construction and discussion, pupils can master basic concepts, knowledge, principles and formulae in mathematics. In daily learning activities, pupils are guided to learn how to compare, induce and analyze so that they are able to make judgment and reasoning, and to develop their problem solving skills. |
