Primary 2 Mathematics

Coming to the second segment of their foundation years, P2 students will be exposed to more complex word problems and some relevant heuristics.

​

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 their related Word Problems

  • Multiplication and Division

  • Multiplication tables

  • Word Problems involving Multiplication and Division

  • Length, Mass and Volume

  • Money

  • 2D and 3D Figures

  • Fractions

  • Time

  • Picture Graphs

​​

• Students get to learn certain new topics, like Fractions, Mass and Volume and 3D Figures.

• Students get to explore certain heuristic skill in problem solving, with much emphasis on Model Drawing, Guess and Check and Grouping.

• Students will learn the metric units in measurement, relating them to Length, Mass and Volume.

 

Thinking processes

​

• Students will learn through the use of concrete manipulatives in their performance tasks assigned in class.

• Students develop thinking skills with the help of these concrete manipulatives and perform step-by-step approach to solve problems.

• Students will learn a set of “How to check” techniques for 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 think about why they make use of the chosen approach to solve the problem.

• Students will be taught the skills in applying their knowledge while posing word problems.
