Part A: Activities and strategies used...
Keeping in mind the Applied Learning approach & Technology use in learning, a range of strategies were incorporated into the planning of the learning activities that we carried out in class, outside the classroom (virtually), as well during Home-based Learning (HBL).

Alongside, we are also mindful of cultivating and developing some of the 10Cs that SST believes that every SST student should have with them after their 4-year stint. In Mathematics, we would like you to develop mathematically inclinded skills and habits like being systematic, be conscious of the degree of accuracy desired in the course of learning and the ability to problem solve rather than just finding one single answer when given a problem.

Some strategies we used in our Maths classroom this year include:

1. Bite-size task & feedback (i.e. posting photos of your work in the Padlet)
- This was a regular item to monitor understanding and provide prompt feedback to clarity misconceptions before progressing to learn new things.

2. Divide-and-Conquer activities
- You were assigned to attempt selected questions in worksheets that come with collectoins of questions. You then shared the solution in the padlet so we could discuss and gather a full set of solution to the whole exercise through each others' effort.

3. Data Handling activities through Performance Task
- You learn to craft and administer surveys to understand current problem and use Google applications to organise, present and chart data

4. Investigative activities with Desmos
- You observed how the graphs present data visually and how they change as the gradient and intercept changes

5. Presentation (and explanation) of worked solution in the class (on the white board)
- The opportunity for us to learn from each other, especially when we learn from each others' errors

6. Hands-on tasks for selected topics
- Hologram for Geometrical Construction
- Cut-outs to show sum of exterior angles = 360º

7. Making Connection to Real world application of Mathematics (with elements national education) through variety of examples like
- Estimation (degree of accuracy): Robotic Cockroach
- Percentages: GST, Income Tax, Hire Purchase
- Data Handling: Data available at the https://data.gov.sg/ website

8. Learning video clips - e.g. Youtube clips (Factorisation) as well as clips from EdTed and SLS

9. TEST YOUR EYE POWER activities
Through such activities, you learnt to pick out patterns or carry out error analysis.

10. Challenging Questions that were sometimes given to deepen or extend application of concepts/ skills.

11. Use of Google Classroom
- This is largely for the administration of the assignment/ homework submission, Self-Directed Lessons (SDL) and to assess revision papers

12. The use of Maths Blog to post learning activities for class discussions and to conduct activities (e.g. Padlet, GoogleForm).

13. The use of SLS for self-directed learning (and pacing)

14. The use of GoogleMeet for HBL lessons

15. eJournal: An attempt to summarise what you learnt and carry out reflection
