students identified by GE Branch
•Differentiated Curriculum
Rationale behind our Programmes
•Structured weekly problem sums
Help students learn the different skills / heuristics
•Use of ICT
Equip students with the necessary life skills
•Learning Support
Provide support to students who need help
List of Approved Calculators
• Fx-95sg PLUS-Casio
•You may visit the SEAB website at http://www.seab.gov.sg
to check on the list of other approved calculators
Housekeeping
•Encourage your child to draw models.
•Model drawing is a useful tool to help students visualize the problem, and
translate words into pictorial representation.
•Model drawing allows the child to see a faster and shorter solution in solving
word problems.
•Insist on neat and legible handwriting and work.
Writing neatly and legibly helps students avoid careless mistakes. It also helps
students from losing marks if markers interpret the writing wrongly.
• Please sign your child’s completed work/tests when they are requested by your
child’s Math teacher. Your child will feel encouraged as you show your concern.
You are also given timely feedback on your child’s progress.
Differentiated Curriculum
The purpose
•To allow students to work on skills appropriate to their readiness level and to
explore mathematics applications.
The content
•Students who require a lot of help – direct instruction (teaching step-by-step) in
the teaching of SHPS Math curriculum
•Students who are average performers – SHPS Math curriculum
•Students who have an aptitude in Math – exploration and investigative work
beyond SHPS Math curriculum
