Primary 1 Mathematics
Mathematics will be taught in a fun and easy-to-understand way. This will boost up your child’s level of interest for Math. Lessons will be conducted with performance tasks and hands-on activities, where they will also acquire fundamental life skills through the various mathematical concepts.
There will be three main focuses in the lessons:
Concepts Empowerment
-
Students will be empowered in their various Mathematical concepts, such as:
-
Whole Numbers – Addition and Subtraction and Number Bonds
-
Ordinal Numbers
-
Shapes and Patterns
-
Multiplication and Division – solving Multiplication word problems
-
Length
-
Money
-
2D and 3D Figures
-
Fractions
-
Time
-
Picture Graphs
-
-
Students get to strengthen their Number Sense, looking at 2-Dimensional shapes, Investigating Patterns and reading Picture Graphs. Life Skills, like counting Money, calculating Length and telling Time will be explicitly taught.
-
Students get to explore certain heuristic skill in problem solving, with much emphasis on Model Drawing – The Part-Whole and Comparison Models, Find A Pattern.
-
Students will learn the metric units in measurement, relating them to Length and Ordinal Positions.
Thinking processes
-
Students will learn through the use of concrete manipulatives in their performance tasks assigned in class.
-
Students will develop thinking skills with the help of these concrete manipulatives and perform step-by-step approach to solve problems and hands on activities.
-
Students will learn steps to self-check their derived answers. This will be reflected in their understanding of the concepts taught in that topic.
Metacognition
-
Students will learn through the process of learning.
-
Students will learn the ‘whys’ of their chosen approach to solve the problem.
-
Students will be taught the skills in applying their knowledge while posing word problems.
