Introduction and General overview

2

Our aim is to help our students learn a lot of facts, information and techniques, and also develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. We expect our students to play an active role in their learning, be independent learners and work collaboratively with others.

In year 7, we follow the Cambridge curriculum.

The curriculum is presented in six content areas:

Algebra

Number

Measure

Geometry

Handling data

Problem solving

Our assessment objectives are streamlined with the Cambridge objectives, “Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of mathematical techniques and reasoning, interpret and communicate mathematically when solving problems.”

This will be assessed through various platforms: daily classwork, pop quiz, online assessments and class assessments.

Introduction and general overview

We want them also to discuss ideas and methods and make suggestions. All students will study the following topics.

  • Number
  • Measures
  • Geometry
  • Algebra
  • Handling data
  • Problem solving

Our assessment objectives are inline with the Cambridge objectives: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of mathematical techniques and reason, interpret and communicate mathematically when solving problems.
