P3 Mathematics

Teaching & Assessment

• C-P-A: Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract

• Lesson involves hands-on activities with the use of

manipulatives

• Followed by pictorial representations to help children

create meaning of abstract concepts

• Abstract part involves the writing of mathematical

statements using the four operators and other math-

related symbols.

Teaching Approach

L.E.A.P. Programme

• Learning Effective Approach to Problem-solving

(L.E.A.P.)

• Pupil are taught heuristic skills

• Pupils also go through a 4-stage problem-solving

process to assist them in deriving solution to word

problems.

Assessments

Math Journal

• Pupils to demonstrate understanding of a topic through

drawing or writing sentences.

• Rubrics could be used to assess pupils’ work

Performance Task• Involves hands-on materials

• Pupils will be given manipulatives and question paper

• Pupils will write down their answers on paper after

performing the task required

• Use of manipulatives (concrete) in the classroom during

lessons will help pupils in this assessment

Topical Exercise• Topical Exercise are not meant to be graded

• These exercises can help teachers identify gaps and

difficulties in pupils’ learning

• Weakness and misconceptions can be identified

• Provide teachers useful information on areas teachers

need to address

Self-assessment• Often involves self-reflection

• Pupils own reflection originates from their experience of

learning mathematics

• Useful to assess pupils’ appreciation and attitude

towards mathematics

• To understand learning habit and help them improve

Weighted

Assessment

Mini Test / Semestral

Assessment• Pencil and paper test

• To assess pupils on the learning objectives that have been taught in class

• Number of questions will increase as pupils progress
