The objective of Mathematics classes is to help students become individuals who:
- Identify and use mathematical concepts effectively
- Can build connections between mathematics and daily life
- Have a positive attitude towards mathematics and advanced problem- solving skills
- Have sophisticated reasoning, guessing, comparison, and problem- solving skills
- Use mathematics by building connections between mathematics and other disciplines
Grade 3 Mathematics programme covers these areas of learning: numbers, geometry, measurement, and data (statistics and probability). Classes are planned taking into consideration students’ learning experience, level of development, and individual differences as this grade-level is when transition from concrete period to abstract period happens.
The class activities provide students with environment where they can
