As the educational landscape shifts towards equipping students with future-ready skills, the Jurongville Mathematics department embraces the R3EAL curriculum by infusing real, relevant, rigorous, experiential, and authentic learning into everyday lessons.
Learning of Mathematics
As the educational landscape shifts towards equipping students with future-ready skills, the Jurongville Mathematics department embraces the R3EAL curriculum by infusing real, relevant, rigorous, experiential, and authentic learning into everyday lessons.
Using technology, such as Student Learning Space (SLS) and Virtual Reality, students learn Math through interactive and active learning lesson packages to engage students in discussions and equip students with problem solving skills.
To develop the students’ higher-order thinking skills and promote a passion for learning, students participate in various national and international maths competitions such as the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad (SASMO). Students displayed their skills to think logically, critically and analytically to meet the demands and rigor of the competitions.
JVS Mathletes Programme (Math Talent Development)
Selected Secondary 2 to 4 students participated in the Singapore and Asian Schools Maths Olympiad (SASMO), while selected Secondary 1 students also participated in the NIE Mathematics Challenge (NIEMC). In addition, twenty-four Secondary 4 students participated in Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Maths Challenge, where they explored the connections between Mathematics and Engineering through engaging games and thought-provoking quizzes providing students with opportunities to apply mathematical thinking beyond the classroom in a fun and authentic setting.
Beyond competitions, Secondary 1 to 3 Mathletes participated in learning journeys and programme-planning experiences, working collaboratively to solve challenging and intriguing real-world problems. Through these experiences, students developed not only mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills, but also collaboration, creativity, resilience and confidence in tackling unfamiliar challenges.
Through the Mathletes Programme, the department seeks to provide students with opportunities to stretch their mathematical thinking, experience the joy of problem-solving, and appreciate Mathematics as a discipline that goes beyond computation to making sense of and solving real-world problems.
