Subject Synopsis:

Rationale
The course aims to enable all students to:
 acquire mathematical concepts and skills for continuous learning in mathematics and to support learning in other subjects;
 develop thinking, reasoning, communication, application and metacognitive skills through a mathematical approach to problem-
solving;
 connect ideas within mathematics and between mathematics and other subjects through applications of mathematics; and
 build confidence and foster interest in mathematics.

It is organized along 3 content strands with a listing of mathematical processes that cut across the 3 strands.

Assessment
Assessments can be broadly classified as summative, formative, and diagnostic.
 Summative assessments, such as tests and examinations, measure what students have learned. Teachers usually report the
assessment result as a score or grade.
 Formative and diagnostic assessments are used for learning to provide timely feedback to students on their learning, and to teachers
on their teaching.
Assessment in the classroom should focus on helping students improve their learning. Therefore, they are primarily formative and diagnostic
in purpose.
