Mathematics
Our Mission
Every Teacher Inspires and Every Child Aspires to Excel and become an Effective Problem Solver
Why Mathematics matters
Mathematics is more than numbers. It develops the thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving skills that students need for meaningful learning and real-world application.
-
To develop enduring understanding in Mathematics by connecting key concepts to real-world contexts.
-
To build confidence in problem solving by equipping students with structured thinking routines that support clear mathematical thinking and reasoning.
-
To nurture critical thinkers and strengthen metacognitive skills through activity-based learning, conceptual development, and higher-order problem-solving approaches.
Our Key Programmes
Annual Mathematics Week
Mathematics Beyond the Classroom @ Math Week is an annual one-week programme designed to bring the joy of learning Mathematics to our students through a variety of purposeful and fun-filled experiences.
This programme is guided by three key principles:
· Meaningful use of curriculum
time
· Learning beyond the
four walls of the classroom
· A safe and supportive
learning environment
Math Week activities are anchored on enriching students’ learning through knowledge expansion, enabling the application of mathematical theories to practice, and empowering students to see how mathematical concepts are used in everyday life.
Highlights of Math Week include:
· A gallery walk featuring
student-created artefacts and mathematical works
· Puzzle-based challenges
that promote logical thinking and perseverance
· Fun recess games and
activities, including interactive Kahoot! quizzes
· Hands-on puzzle play
to encourage exploration and problem-solving
· Engaging classroom activities
involving origami, Strawbies, and MatheMagic
· Mathematics insights
and learning beyond the Primary Mathematics textbook, shared during pre-morning
assemblies
Through these experiences, students develop a deeper appreciation of Mathematics as a meaningful and relevant discipline.
Activities
The Yu Neng Difference
At Yu Neng, our Mathematics programme is designed to develop students holistically by integrating 21st Century Competencies into meaningful learning experiences. Through hands-on activities, games, digital tools, and authentic contexts, students learn to think critically, collaborate effectively, and apply problem-solving strategies with confidence. Learning extends beyond the classroom through initiatives such as Math Trails, chess, Mathemagic lessons, and interactive recess activities, where students exercise creativity, communication, and strategic thinking. By blending conceptual understanding with real-world application, we nurture self-directed, resilient learners who are prepared to thrive in an ever-changing world.
