Mathematics
Mathematics laboratory encourages life-long enthusiasm for analytical and
rational thinking.
Students develop a holistic understanding of the subject, focusing on
principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships.
Students become mathematically competent and fluent in computation, which they
can apply to everyday situations. A unique feature of our mathematics laboratory is ‘Thinking
and Working ‘Mathematically’, which comprises of eight characteristics that are intertwined and
interdependent: specializing, generalizing, conjecturing, convincing, characterizing,
classifying, critiquing and improving. The process of thinking and working mathematically
encourages students to talk with others, challenge ideas and to provide evidence that validates
conjectures and solutions. When our learners are thinking and working mathematically, they
actively seek to make sense of ideas and build connections between different facts, procedures
and concepts.
