MRt @ Yu Neng
MRt @ Yu Neng is a technology-driven pedagogy that engages our digital natives in the lower primary in learning Maths. It capitalizes on the use of technology to enhance pupils’ mathematical thinking to promote the reflective aspect of Maths learning as well as promote communication, CoL and SDL.
Through suitably designed tasks, MRt @ Yu Neng involves pupils’ to interpret, discuss, illustrate, explain and evaluate mathematical ideas and experiences in doing mathematical problem solving.
P4 E2K Programme
In 2014, the GE Branch piloted the Excellence 2000 (E2K) Mathematics Programme that was developed by Israel Centre for Excellence through Education (ICEE) in a few schools.
The E2K Mathematics Programme is a Mathematics enrichment programme for upper primary high progress pupils who demonstrate interest and ability in Mathematics. It aims to foster independence in mathematical thinking skills, as well as nurture other important 21st century competencies such as resilience and resourcefulness, critical and inventive thinking, and effective communication skills.
In 2017, Yu Neng Primary School embarked on the E2K Mathematics Programme for our P4 high-progress students in Mathematics
