INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The Mathematics Department seeks to nurture all students to be self-motivated Mathematics learners through an effective instructional programme that develops their analytical thinking and problem solving skills. Exposure to problems in real-world contexts is critical to students’ development in reasoning and communication.
MISSION
MISSION
To foster a vibrant learning environment where all Crestians develop their mathematical ability to the fullest potential.
PERFORMANCE TASK
PERFORMANCE TASK
We believe in providing our students with opportunities to showcase their critical and inventive thinking skills. Our Secondary 1 and Secondary 3 students are given the opportunities to work on performance tasks, where they apply their learning to real world contexts.
Secondary 1 Performance Task
Students will be able to experience data collection and they will represent the data in charts using Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
They will be given the opportunity to explain their data collection methods and their choice of data representation.
Secondary 3 Performance Task
Students will be tasked to work on real world problems such as CPF, Income Tax and impact of electrical appliances on water bill. Presented with the problem, students will research on the relevant tasks and make recommendations .
Students will also be given the autonomy to best represent their solutions.
ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMES
ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMES
Mathematics Trail
The Mathematics Trail is an experiential learning programme where our Secondary 1 students apply mathematical concepts learnt in class to real-world settings. Students will be brought to iconic locations such as Our Tampines Hub, Jewel, and the Sports Hub, where they will explore hands-on tasks and challenges in their surroundings. Beyond mathematical thinking, the trail also develops critical life skills — students collaborate with their teammates to analyse and solve problems, communicate their reasoning clearly to station facilitators, and practise respectful teamwork, nurturing them to become confident problem solvers and responsible leaders.
STRETCH PROGRAMMES
STRETCH PROGRAMMES
Students with a flair in Mathematics have the opportunities to participate in Mathematics competitions to maximise their potential and benchmark their problem solving skills against other participants. The department strives to provide students of different levels with sufficient opportunities to excel in the subject.
Some of these competitions include
Singapore Mathematics Olympiad (SMO)
Students in the Singapore Mathematics Olympiad programme undergo special training sessions to develop their higher order and critical thinking skills. It is hoped that these would in turn provide them with opportunities to excel and help them grow their passion in Mathematics.
NIE Mathematics Challenge
The NIEMC is a 90-minute national online mathematics quiz open to secondary school students. All questions are aligned to the MOE mathematics syllabuses for secondary schools. Upon completing the quiz, students will receive personalised feedback on their performance. Student participants will be recognised under one of four award categories: Participation, Credit, Distinction, and High Distinction.
