Mathematics Education

Curriculum Highlights of the Mathematics Department

Our Mathematics curriculum is primarily designed around two core pillars: "Addressing Learning Diversity" and "Flexible & Diverse Articulation." Through flexible class streaming, we effectively achieve the goals of stretching the gifted (enrichment) and supporting the underachieving (remedial).
Curriculum Highlights
1. Same-Grade Pull-Out Streaming (Cross-Class Grouping) By breaking the boundaries of original classes, students are regrouped based on their mathematics academic results into "Elite Groups (Enrichment)," "Standard Groups," and "Remedial Groups (Support)." This allows teachers to tailor the teaching pace and the difficulty of questions according to each group's specific needs.
2. Language Streaming (English vs. Chinese Medium of Instruction) Students are channeled into either "English-Medium Mathematics Classes" or "Chinese-Medium Mathematics Classes" based on their English proficiency and mathematical foundation. English-Medium Classes: Adopt full English learning materials to build a solid foundation for senior secondary education or overseas studies. Chinese-Medium Classes: Ensure that students' comprehension of mathematical concepts is not hindered by language barriers.
3. Senior Secondary DSE Extended Part (M1) Grouping In senior secondary (S4–S6), the three classes are divided into five groups for Mathematics, consisting of the "Compulsory Part" (4 groups) and the "Extended Part" (1 group). Core Groups: English & Chinese-Medium Classes (Enrichment): In addition to the compulsory curriculum, students explore advanced enrichment topics in-depth, enabling them to apply what they have learned to solve daily life and mathematical problems. English & Chinese-Medium Classes (Remedial): Students focus solely on the compulsory curriculum, freeing up time to consolidate their basic concepts. M1 Group: Students study the Compulsory Part alongside Module 1 (Calculus and Statistics), which focuses on statistical applications and introductory calculus. This is highly suitable for students planning to pursue business or social science degrees in tertiary education. This module is designed for students who require a broader and deeper understanding of mathematics, especially statistics, for their academic studies or future careers.

Co-Curricular & Learning Support

Co-Curricular & Learning Support
Junior Form 1. Junior Secondary Endeavor Classes (奮進班): Conducted by our subject teachers, these classes aim to consolidate learning and provide targeted remedial support for students with weaker mathematical foundations.
2. Junior Secondary Enrichment Classes (拔尖班): Led by experienced teachers, these classes introduce mathematical knowledge beyond the standard syllabus to enrich students' learning experiences, while enhancing their thinking skills and cognitive levels.
Senior Form 1. Senior Secondary Summer DSE Study Classes: Provide opportunities for students to study key topics in greater depth according to their individual abilities.
2. Increased Mock Examinations: Provide students with authentic exam experiences and practical performance data, helping them adjust their revision strategies and set clear goals for public examinations.
Whole School Approach Specialized Mathematics Tutorial Classes: Offered to both junior and senior secondary students to consolidate their learning, ensuring they receive teacher encouragement and personalized care outside of regular class hours.

Key Features of the Secondary School Mathematics Curriculum

  • Multi-tiered Learning Materials: "Differentiated Worksheets" are widely adopted to ensure that students of different abilities can reach their full potential.

  • E-Learning Platforms: Leveraged to foster students' self-directed learning and logical reasoning skills.
