Mathematics
Aims of Math Syllabus
ZHONGHUA PRIMARY SCHOOL
Laying a Strong Foundation
The Primary Mathematics Syllabus aims to enable all
students to:
• Acquire mathematical concepts and skills for everyday use
and continuous learning in Mathematics
• Develop thinking, reasoning, communication, application and
metacognitive skills through a Mathematics approach to
problem-solving
• Build confidence and foster interest in Mathematics
Aims of Math Syllabus
ZHONGHUA PRIMARY SCHOOL
Laying a Strong Foundation
The Primary Mathematics Syllabus assumes no formal learning of
Mathematics.
However, basic pre-numeracy skills such as:
• matching,
• sorting and
• comparing
are necessary in providing a good grounding for students to begin
learning at Primary 1.

Teachers use the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (C-P-A) approach
together with activity-based learning to help students understand
abstract mathematical concepts.

Activity-based learning and Performance Tasks also
encourage active participation by students in the learning process.
It involves learning by doing, individually or in a group.

The Model Method requires students to draw a pictorial model to
represent mathematical quantities and their relationships given in
a problem.
It serves as a visual tool to process and analyse the given
information and to plan and develop a sequence of logical steps
to solve a problem.
Learning Support Programme for Math (LSM)
ZHONGHUA PRIMARY SCHOOL
Upon entering Primary 1, students who lack age-appropriate
numeracy skills are identified and given support through the LSM.
Students in this programme are taught in small groups by
specially-trained teachers.
A structured teaching approach, incorporating multi-sensory
teaching methods, is used to meet the learning needs of these
students.
The progress of these students is monitored by these teachers.

Holistic Assessment in Math is carried out :
• to gather evidence about pupils’ knowledge of Mathematical
concepts
• to ascertain whether learning has taken place
• to provide parents with information on their child’s progress
In Primary 1, a key focus would be on building the child’s
confidence and desire to learn. Thus assessment is bite-sized
and focuses more on providing information on the learning
progress of the child.

Bite-Sized Assessments:
• Level subject teachers plan the weeks in which the bite-sized
assessments are conducted.
• Letters are given out to inform parents and pupils of the
week(s) in which the pupils will sit for these tests.

In the classroom, teachers use a range of appropriate assessment
modes to gather information about their pupils’ learning and
provide feedback to the pupils.
Informal Assessments:
• Rubrics
• Checklists (Self / Peer/ Group)
