Academy Life
Mathematics
Our Vision:
To foster positive attitudes, fascination and excitement of discovery through the teaching and learning of mathematical concepts. To ensure that all students master the Mathematical concepts, skills and knowledge and demonstrate this through multiple representations and explanation of precise use of mathematical language.
Through our maths vision, we are passionate and fully committed to developing a balance between the students’ procedural fluency and conceptual understanding. This will enable our students to become independent learners who take responsibility of their own learning and are able to problem solve not only to excel in education, but also life beyond school, employability and life skills.
