Aims of Curriculum
We aim to further develop students’ mathematical knowledge, skills and concepts. We provide students with mathematical tools for their personal development and future career pathways.  Curriculum not only provides a foundation for students who may further their studies in mathematics or related areas, but also helps students the capability to use mathematics to solve problems, reason and communicate. To arouse students interest in learning of mathematics; develop students’ competence and confidence in dealing with mathematics needed in their life.
Teacher's Words
Math is a fun and magical subject.  During the journey of learning math, children may face many difficulties and challenges.  These challenges are a part of growing.  Every time you solve a problem,  you are proving to yourselves that you can do it.
 
Do not be afraid to make mistakes, as every mistake is an opportunity to learn.  Believe in yourselves, and with effort to overcome difficulties, you will become even more outstanding.  Please continue to work hard, as your efforts will be rewarded.
 
Curriculum Framework
The curriculum framework for Mathematics embodies the key knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that students are to develop at the senior secondary level. It forms the basis on which schools and teachers can plan their school-based curricula, and design appropriate learning, teaching and assessment activities.
 
Design Principles

The following principles are used in designing the curriculum:

1. Building on knowledge developed at the basic education level

2. Providing a balanced, flexible and diversified curriculum

3. Catering for learner diversity

4. Achieving a balance between breadth and depth

5. Achieving a balance between theoretical and applied learning

6. Fostering lifelong learning skills

7. Promoting positive values and attitudes to learning

 
Aims of Senior Secondary Mathematics Curriculum

The Mathematics Curriculum (S4 – 6) is a continuation of the Mathematics Curriculum (S1 – 3). It aims to:

  1. further develop students’ mathematical knowledge, skills and concepts;
  2. provide students with mathematical tools for their personal development and future career pathways;
  3. provide a foundation for students who may further their studies in mathematics or related areas;
  4. develop in students the generic skills, and in particular, the capability to use mathematics to solve problems, reason and communicate;
  5. develop in students interest in and positive attitudes towards the learning of mathematics;
  6. develop students’ competence and confidence in dealing with mathematics needed in life; and
  7. help students to fulfil their potenti.
Framework of Senior Secondary Mathematics Curriculum
Framework of Mathematics Curriculum from S4 to S6:
[Note: Students may take the Compulsory Part only, the Compulsory Part with Module 2 (Algebra and Calculus). 
Interface with Post-secondary Pathways

The curriculum also aims to prepare students for a range of post-secondary pathways, including tertiary education, vocational training and employment. It consists of a Compulsory Part and an Extended Part. In order to broaden students’ choices for further study and work, the Module 2 in the Extended Part is provided to:
pursue further studies which require more mathematics

follow a career in fields such as natural sciences, computer sciences, technology or engineering.
