Math Curriculum

The Mathematics Program aims to help the students acquire the essential mathematical concepts, skills, knowledge and principles by providing access to rigorous, engaging and high quality mathematics. The program also aims to foster appreciation of Mathematics as a discipline and its relationship to other disciplines and its contribution to the development of civilization.

The very nature of Mathematics helps students enhance their understanding of the world and their participation in society. Since it is invaluable to the students individually and collectively, it should be an integral part of the general education of every young person.

Learning mathematics involves observing, representing, reasoning, investigating, analytical thinking and valuing patterns and relationships. Thus, through a rich variety of materials, activities and programs, students would have opportunities to learn increasingly more sophisticated mathematical ideas as they progress through the grades. This will also foster appreciation of the relationship of mathematics to other disciplines and its contribution to the development of civilization.

The program is characterized by the following: guided approach to learning of concepts and skills, mastery in calculation and computation, a positive attitude towards mathematics and mastery of problem solving which emphasizes reasoning, communication and making connections to the real world.

The Mathematics Program aims to develop in the students the following:

1. Acquisition of essential knowledge and skills regarding mathematical facts, principles, properties and operations.
2. Application of knowledge and skills in problem solving and in real life situations.
3. Appreciation of mathematics as a discipline and its importance in relation to other disciplines.
4. Effective communication of mathematical ideas and principles in oral and written form.
5. Develop the habit of accuracy and precision.
6. Develop desirable virtues and values like patience, perseverance, neatness, cooperation, resiliency and passion for excellence.
7. Discernment of best solution for problems.
8. Develop intellectual curiosity to arrive at new approaches to solve problems.
9. Effective and efficient utilization of appropriate technology to enhance the development of mathematical skills and abilities.
