Mathematics
Overview
The Mathematics Department aims to provide students with the necessary skills not only to pass examinations but also to enjoy learning Mathematics. We allow students to explore Mathematics beyond the confines of the textbooks through the use of manipulatives and ICT tools. The broad range of enrichment programmes offered to students include mathematical modelling projects on financial literacy, maths trails, quizzes and national competitions. As Mathematics is key in many areas in our lives, we hope to equip our students with a good foundation in the subject and develop them to become competent life-long learners.

Key Department Programmes / Activities
| No. | Title of Programme / Activity | Brief Description |
| 1 | Sec 1 Standard/Foundation Bridging Programme | Secondary 1 students with lower PSLE achievements or foundation mathematics are selected for this programme to bridge their learning gaps. This programme runs for 10 sessions which are conducted once a week. |
| 2 | Sec 2 Algebra Gym | The Sec 2 Algebra Gym focuses on helping students develop a solid foundation in algebra, an essential component of mathematics that is required in upper secondary. |
| 3 | Mathematical Modelling Projects on Financial Literacy for Sec 1 to Sec 3 | Mathematical modelling projects provide opportunities for students to connect classroom mathematics to the real world problems. Through mathematical modelling, students learn to deal with ambiguity, make connections, select and apply appropriate mathematics concepts and skills, identify assumptions and reflect on the solutions to real-world problems, and make informed decisions based on given or collected data. |
| 4 | Mathematics and Science Integrated Programme Week | Students discover the joy of learning in Mathematics
|
| 5 | (a) The Mathematics Olympiad
(b) All Singapore Secondary Maths |
Our students participate in national competitions such as this to stretch their abilities. |
| 6 | Sec 4 FOCUS and Math Clinic | This programme is specially structured to provide our graduating students with the time and place to revise, practise and simulate examination strategies. |
