MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT VISION
A community of critical thinkers and innovative problem solvers, where CZ Stars are passionately engaged in mathematics, and poised to excel in an ever-evolving world.
MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT PROGRAMMES
Learning experiences through Activity-Based Learning (ABL)
Students learn Mathematics in meaningful ways by using manipulatives and working with their peers. Through these activities, students construct their mathematical meaning through collaborative learning. When learning is meaningful, students are engaged and want to learn more.
STAR approach in problem solving
In the solving of word problems, we advocate the acronym of STAR to enable students to systematically search for clues in the word problems and to apply the appropriate plan to solve them.
Study the problem
Think of a plan
Act out the plan
Rethink the problem
Talent Management
Mathematics Olympiad Training is provided for Primary 4, 5 and 6 students who show passion and aptitude in advanced Math problem solving. As part of the programme, our students will take part in Mathematics Olympiad Competitions
Learning Support for Mathematics (LSM)
Learning Support for Mathematics (LSM) is an early intervention programme started by MOE for Primary 1 and 2 students who lack foundational numeracy skills. A trained LSM teacher will provide daily teaching to these students in a small group setting to assist them to master their numeracy skills.
