1. Whole Numbers 1.1 Numbers up to 100 ( includes use of ordinal numbers) 1.2 Addition and Subtraction 1.3 Mental Calculation (achieve mastery of basic ‘+’ and ‘-’ facts within 20) 1.4 Multiplication and Division (multiplication as repeated addition within 40, division of a quantity, less than 20, into equal sets)
2. Measurement 2.1 Length (measure and compare in non-standard units) 2.2 Time (telling and writing time to the hour/half hour) 2.3 Money (count in cents up to $1, in dollars up to $100)
3. Geometry 3.1 Basic shapes classifying shapes identifying 2-D shapes 3.2 Patterns ( make/complete patterns with 2-D shapes according to size, shape, colour, orientation)

In the process of grasping Mathematical concepts, children understand best first through concrete manipulative, followed by pictorial representations and lastly, attaining the ability to understand abstract concepts. CONCRETE PICTORIAL ABSTRACT
Let’s explore the Model Approach (P2&3)
Model Drawing Emphasis is placed on teaching pupils to use the model method to solve word problems that include part- whole, comparison and change situations. • Primary 2 – Part-whole and Comparison • Primary 3 – Multiplication and Division • Primary 4 to 6 – More advanced techniques and strategies in the method are taught http://www.thesingaporemaths.com/index.html
Part-whole Model - Addition - Shows the various parts which make up a whole There are 26 girls and 11 boys in a class. What is the total number of pupils in the class? ? Girls Boys 26 11 26 + 11 = 37 savings There are 37 pupils in the class.
Part-whole Model - Multiplication Siti has 5 dolls. Each doll costs $6. How much do 5 dolls cost altogether? $6 $6 $6 $6 $6 ? 1 doll $6 5 dolls $6 × 5 = $30 Ans: $30
Comparison Model Mary has 5 pencils. June has 2 more pencils than Mary. How many pencils does June have? 5 Mary 2 June ? 5 + 2 savings = 7 June has 7 pencils.

My Pals Are Here Topical Test: • Topical test is conducted to identify the pupil’s learning gaps. • Teachers to correct misconceptions or wrong assumptions.
Marking Annotation • Teachers will use these annotation when marking the pupils’ work. 1)CC – careless calculation Example: 234 + 456 = 680 x CC 2) ME – missing equation Example : Huiping has 86 stickers. Aisha has 49 fewer stickers than Huiping. How many stickers does Aisha have? ME ( missing equation) 86 -49=37 Aisha has 37 stickers.
Common codes used during marking of Maths questions/word problems Codes Representations WM Wrong method to arrive at the same answer CC Careless calculation (method is correct) MU Missing Units ME Missing Equation
Math Programmes and Activities
Programmes and Activities • Maths Games@ Recess • Maths Quiz • Maths Infused Learning Journey for P1 • Math Trail in P3 • Drama in Maths • Learning Centres • HGS e-Learning portal: MC Online: http://www.mconline.sg
Math Games Every Monday, during recesses
Expectations • Listen and participate actively • Be on task • Be prepared - bring the necessary books - handing in work on time • Ask when in doubt • Take pride in her work - check through, neat handwriting • Persevere – Keep Trying and Don’t Give Up
What YOU can do… • Be involved in your child’s learning in school and provide a conducive environment at home Ask Praise Encourage
How can parents be involved… • Work and communicate closely with your child’s Maths Teacher. • Monitor/Follow up on homework – ask questions that guide without telling them what to do when your child encounters difficulties with homework, you can help by asking questions that guide. • Train your child to show proper and detailed working steps. • Train your child to check for accuracy. • Relate Math concepts to daily life examples. Eg, Is the table longer or shorter than one metre? • Play mathematical games / puzzles.
