Philosophy
  • Mathematics is a powerful means in a technology-oriented and information-rich society to help students acquire the ability to communicate, explore, conjecture, reason logically and solve problems using a variety of methods.
  • Mathematics provides a means to acquire, organise and apply information, and plays an important role in communicating ideas through pictorial, graphical, symbolic, descriptive and analytical representations. Hence, mathematics helps to lay a strong foundation for students’ lifelong learning, and provides a platform for the acquisition of new knowledge in this rapidly changing world.
  • Many of the developments, plans and decisions made in modern society rely, to some extent, on the use of measures, structures, patterns, shapes and the analysis of quantitative information. Therefore, mathematical experiences acquired enable students to become mathematically literate citizens who are more able to cope with the demands of the workplace.
  • Mathematics is a tool to help students enhance their understanding of the world. It provides a foundation for the study of other disciplines in the secondary and post-secondary education system.
  • Mathematics is an intellectual endeavour through which students can develop their imagination, initiative, creativity and flexibility of mind, as well as their ability to appreciate the beauty of nature. Mathematics is a discipline which plays a central role in human culture.

 

Curriculum

The overall curriculum aims are to develop in students:

  • the ability to think critically and creatively, to conceptualise, inquire and reason mathematically, and to use mathematics to formulate and solve problems in daily life as well as in mathematical contexts and other disciplines;
  • the ability to communicate with others and express their views clearly and logically in mathematical language;
  • the ability to manipulate numbers, symbols and other mathematical objects;
  • number sense, symbol sense, spatial sense, measurement sense and the capacity to appreciate structures and patterns;
  • a positive attitude towards the learning of mathematics and an appreciation of the aesthetic nature and cultural aspects of mathematics.

 

Junior Curriculum

  • School-based curricula embedded with authentic daily-life problems are adopted so as to meet students’ needs and enrich their learning experiences.
  • The practice of problem solving and inquiry based approach is well established in junior form. In particular, different task activities are designed for students to work collaborate.
  • Flipped Classroom is carried out in selected topics to enhance self-learning.
  • Streaming policy enables students to learn and perform to the best of their abilities.
  • Monthly challenging problems and Inter-class competitions are held to arouse students’ learning interest.

 

Senior Curriculum

  • Both compulsory part and extended part of DSE curriculum are provided to students to suit their learning needs.
  • DSE typed questions are pervaded in regular assignment and assessment to better prepare students for public examinations.
  • Both after school enhancement and remedial programs are arranged to cater for learner diversity.
