MATHEMATICS Subject Overview
The Math program at RCIS aims to help children become capable The Math
program at RCIS aims to help children become capable mathematical thinkers
and problem solvers to prepare them for their success in the world. It
encourages their innate curiosity. This program engages children with a wide
range of mathematical manipulative and hands on experience to develop and
strengthen mathematical concepts and understanding. It is based on the belief
that all students can learn mathematics and deserve the opportunity to do so. It
recognizes that all students do not necessarily learn mathematics in the same
way. It also recognizes different learning styles and sets expectations that call
for the use of a variety of instructional strategies. It aims to challenge all
students by including expectations that require them to use higher-order
thinking skills and to make connections between related mathematical concepts
and between mathematics, other disciplines, and the real world.
Our framework is based on Primary Cambridge by CIE. The Cambridge
Primary Mathematics framework is presented in five content areas: Number,
Geometry, Measure, Handling data and Problem solving. The first four
content areas are all underpinned by Problem solving, which describes using
techniques and skills and the application of understanding and strategies in
solving problems. Mental strategies are also a key part of the Number content.
This framework focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and
relationships so that learners can apply their mathematical knowledge and
develop a holistic understanding of the subject. The Cambridge Primary
Mathematics framework provides a solid foundation upon which the later
stages of education can be built.
