Vision

To promote and support a comprehensive, innovative and vibrant learning environment where Gessians are engaged and become confident problem solvers

Mission

To enable Gessians to build a strong foundation in Mathematics, and develop a passion for Mathematics and apply what they have learnt in everyday life.

About

The key guiding philosophy of Mathematics Department’s total curriculum is Appreciation of and Achievement in Mathematics.

In alignment with the our key guiding philosophy, our team had been designing learning experiences which could serve the dual purpose of teaching the mathematical skills, concepts and processes while simultaneously teaching the 21st century competencies into our department’s curriculum such as our department’s Anchor Tasks. Peer tutoring in Mathematics after curriculum lessons also served as a platform for students to promote cooperative learning, student self-directedness and student ownership of learning.

The department strives to achieve its vision as our teachers continue to adopt suitable e-pedagogies and harness the affordances of Technology to make learning counts with students’ Personal Learning Devices.

Signature Programmes

Our Talent Development Program provides opportunities for high-performing students to attend Math Olympiad training programme and Singapore Mathematics Olympiad (SMO) competition where the students learnt advanced mathematical concepts and developed creative mathematical thinking and problem solving skills.
