This course aim to reconstruct mathematics concepts learn at school and to enable reflection of one's own mathematical and thinking and learning.
C 1.2 CORE MATHEMATICS SYLLABUS
Unit 1
Number and Measurement: counting and place value; arithmetic operations; approximation; estimation; fractions and decimals; concept and measurement of length, mass/weight, area, volume, time.
Unit 2
Space and Shape : symmetry and pattern - properties of two and three dimensional objects e.g. symmetries, projection, perspective, tessellation, closest packing etc.
Unit 3
Algebra : number patterns - forming and solving simple linear equations - other mathematical investigations and puzzles.
Unit 4
Practical Arithmetic and Handling Data : collecting, representing and interpreting data; using elementary statistical techniques; timetables and time tabling; flowcharts; percentage; ratio and proportion; interest; discount; tax.
It is envisaged that the various concepts and operations will be reconstructed through activities and problems, using concrete materials as often from the kitchen as from mathematical kits, to arrive at solutions or conduct investigations. This would be followed by reflective discussions on the concepts, solutions, results and the methods used (both 'right' and 'wrong').
Reading material will be uploaded soon.
Stay Tuned.
