Pre-Secondary bridging course development program (Mathematics)
Background Our school revived to a DSS primary school and formed a “through-train school” with Po Leung Kuk Laws Foundation College since 2005-2006. Po Leung Kuk Laws Foundation Collegae’s curriculum using English as medium of instruction. Therefore, the implementation of the program helps students to adapt the learning of mathematics in secondary school.
Aim
To get well-prepared to study mathematics by using English as teaching medium
To create a conducive environment, in order to enhance students’ language ability.
“Calculator” Curriculum
Integrating the use of calculator in the Maths curriculum With the rapid development of IT in education, 2001 Maths curriculum syllabus proposed to integrate the use of calculator and its application as teaching tools in the Maths curriculum. The addition of the use of calculator in the curriculum purports to reduce students' time on calculating complicated sums, enhance students' critical and problem solving skills, and promote the proper attitude on using calculators.
Do decimal multiplication sums sound easy to them? Let's see who is the fastest to arrive at the answers?
Can a human brain beat a calculator in terms of accuracy and speed? Let's find it out!
Utilizing concrete thinking skills to enhance students' sense on Maths and problem solving skills
. |
Through a series of learning activities, we strive to cultivate students' concrete thinking skills. The learning activities aims at enhancing students' sense on Maths with our explanation on some abstract objects with concrete objects |
. |
Assist students in developing a set of concrete thinking tools to analyze the meaning of application sums. Help students visualize the data in the sums graphically to promote students' problem- solving skills |
. |
Endeavor to rectify students' misguided attitude on approaching application sums, establish students' self confidence on attempting difficult sums, encourage them to try the sums despite the difficulties |
Fostering P.4 & P.5 students on spatial sense development in the Maths curriculum
The inclusion of "the relationship between graphs and space" in the curriculum, plus a series of systematic learning initiatives and IT curriculum in the enrichment programme ensure students firmly grasp the spatial sense and resolve sums regarding "graphs and space", such as calculation on perimeter and area. |

P.3 Maths learning activities on cultivating students' creativity and problem solving skills Through a series of systematic learning activities, we strive to cultivate students' creativity and problem solving skills and promote their learning interest.
Application and development on SEEDS project- framework underpinning students' learning effectiveness to maximize primary students' learning and teaching effectiveness
Objectives: This project is a framework documenting students' learning performance. This incorporates a basic competency index at the end of each learning stage. It aims at facilitating learning evaluation, development of appropriate learning, teaching and evaluation coursework, and teaching exemplars to demonstrate students' learning progress.
