MIDDLE SCHOOL MATHEMATICS

The mathematics program at ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø is based on the AERO standards used by many other international schools in the NESA region and elsewhere. These standards emphasize learning in five key learning aspects: Skills, Concepts, Processes, Metacognition, and Attitudes. The ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø Mathematics program aims to create inspired life-long learners who are mathematically literate and statistically fluent, and who can demonstrate the critical thinking essential for informed citizenship in a data-rich world. ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø Mathematics teachers celebrate the wonders of mathematics, seeking to inspire students with attention to the fascinating elements of Mathematical knowledge, instilling a positive attitude towards mathematics. ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø Math teachers and teaching promotes perseverance and intellectual risk taking, while utilizing a variety of ‘best practices’ to reach all learners. Technology and technological tools play an integral role in Mathematics teaching and learning at ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø. ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø students’ mathematical learning and ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø mathematics instruction are based on the following beliefs: ? Mathematics is accessible to all learners. ? All learners can engage in the practices and thinking dispositions of mathematicians. ? Learners construct deep mathematical understanding through exploring meaningful, complex problems both independently and in collaboration with other learners. ? Learners develop mathematical understanding through reflecting, explaining, questioning and defending strategies. ? Learners use authentic mathematical representations to organize, record, and communicate their understanding. ? Using multiple valid strategies and varied resources, learners build new understanding and mathematical knowledge by expanding on prior experience and knowledge. ? Learners should develop and demonstrate a balance of conceptual understanding, procedural proficiency and factual knowledge.


MATH 6

In Grade 6, our curriculum integrates a dynamic, blended learning experience suited for both small-group and whole-class engagements, utilizing the Singapore Math approach that emphasizes problem-solving as a core skill, extending beyond traditional memorization and direct instruction. This method ensures students understand not just the 'how' but also the 'why' behind mathematical processes, fostering deep, conceptual comprehension. Our 6th-grade mathematics program utilizes the "Math In Focus Course 1" textbook, emphasizing five key learning aspects: Skills, Concepts, Processes, Metacognition, and Attitudes. The curriculum covers a broad range of topics, starting from Prime Numbers to Fractions, Decimals, Ratios, Rates, Percent, and then advancing to Algebraic Expressions, Equations, Inequalities, the Coordinate Plane, and Geometry, ensuring a comprehensive and thoughtful approach to mathematics education. Textbook: Math in Focus (Course 1) Course Length: One year Prerequisite: Math 5 or equivalent *Additional resources and extension (real-world) problems used to enrich and engage students further using Open Up Resources and Fishtank Platforms


MATH 7

In Grade 7, our curriculum combines interactive learning for both small groups and the whole class, focusing on the Singapore Math method. This approach emphasizes solving problems creatively rather than just memorizing formulas. It helps students really understand mathematical concepts, explaining not just how to do something, but why it works that way. This makes sure students have a solid and clear understanding of math. Our 7th-grade mathematics curriculum is centered around the "Math In Focus Course 2" textbook, focusing on five essential aspects of learning: Skills, Concepts, Processes, Metacognition, and Attitudes. This comprehensive program begins with Rational Numbers and extends through Algebraic Expressions, Equations and Inequalities, Proportion and Percent of Change, Angle Properties and Straight Lines, Geometric Construction, and into areas of Circumference, Area, Volume, and Surface Area. It also covers key concepts in Statistics, Probability, and Compound Events, ensuring a well-rounded mathematical education. Textbook: Math in Focus (Course 2) Course Length: One year Prerequisite: Math 6 or equivalent


MATH 8

In Grade 8, we deliver an engaging and versatile curriculum tailored to both individual and group learning dynamics, leveraging the strengths of the Singapore Math method. This method places a strong emphasis on problem-solving, steering away from traditional rote learning and direct instruction. It effectively deepens students' comprehension of mathematical concepts, fostering an understanding that encompasses both the practical 'how' and the theoretical 'why' of each topic. Our curriculum, anchored in the "Math In Focus Course 3" textbook, holistically addresses five crucial dimensions of learning: Skills, Concepts, Processes, Metacognition, and Attitudes. This approach not only enhances the students' mathematical capabilities but also cultivates a well-rounded, critical thinking mindset. This comprehensive program starts with a focus on Exponents and Scientific Notation, progressing to Linear Equations and Inequalities, Lines and Linear Equations, and Systems of Linear Equations. It then delves into Functions, the Pythagorean Theorem, and Geometric Transformations. The curriculum further explores Congruence and Similarity, along with Volume and Surface Area, culminating in a thorough understanding of Statistics. Each topic is designed to build upon the previous one, ensuring a cohesive and in-depth learning experience. Textbook: Math in Focus (Course 3) Course Length: One year Prerequisite: Math 7 or equivalent *Additional resources and extension (real-world) problems used to enrich and engage students further using Open Up Resources, Fishtank Platforms and Delta Math.
