Mathematics
Explore how our Mathematics curriculum builds strong problem-solving skills through real-world learning. Find out about our subjects, special programmes, and assessment approaches.
Vision
To develop logical and critical thinkers who are competent in using mathematical reasoning, communication and problem-solving skills in real world contexts. To provide a varied and authentic learning experience for our students, promoting interest and confidence in Mathematics.
Philosophy
The learning of mathematics involves exploration, analysis and presentation of math patterns and relations both within the subject and across other disciplines. It is not just an academic subject, but an important vehicle that stretches the girls’ minds and promotes critical and analytical thinking.
