Math education plays an important role in equipping every learner with the necessary knowledge and skills and the capacities to think logically, critically and analytically to participate in the future economy and society. For some, it is just a tool to be used to meet the needs of everyday life; for others, learning more advanced math will give them a head start in their aspirations of pursuing STEM education and careers.
Our programs focus on
Lower Secondary:
- Learning and understanding basic Math concepts
- Learning and acquiring problem-solving techniques
- Developing and forming answer verification habits and skills
Upper Secondary:
- Learning and understanding higher level Math concepts
- Divide and conquer – learning how to break down complex problems into smaller problems to solve
- Developing and acquiring techniques and a habit of answer verification.
Our differentiated upper secondary school programs will aid learners as they prepare for one of the following courses of study:
