Mathematics
Discover how AHS develops students into critical thinkers and problem solvers through real-world Maths applications, competitions, and enrichment activities.
Our Approach
In the Mathematics Department, we aim to develop all AHS students to be critical thinkers and competent problem solvers who appreciate how Mathematics is applied in the real world in the 21st Century.
To develop competent problem solvers with an understanding of how Mathematics is used in the real world, we provide a differentiated academic curriculum within a learner-centred environment whilst harnessing the strengths of ICT and curriculum innovations. Mathematics lessons are conducted in a variety of ways, such as Differentiated Instruction, Flipped Instruction and Gamification.
We are particularly focused on developing the 21st Century Competencies:
● Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Problem Solving
● Communication and Collaboration
● Innovation
Learner Outcomes
When the AHS student completes the 4-year Mathematics programme,
● He will be a self-directed learner, curious, reflective, and persevering.
● He can think independently and critically, and collaborate effectively to learn and solve problems.
● He can exercise initiative, have courage to take risks responsibly, are innovative, and strive for excellence.
