Gradual Release Responsibility (GRR)
Problem Solving
TEACHING APPROACHES
Types of
RepresentationCharacteristics
Concrete Use of manipulatives, measuring tools or
objects
Pictorial Use of drawings, diagrams, charts or
graphs
Abstract Use of abstract representations such as
numbers and letters

MATHEMATICS PROGRAMMES
Structured Remediation
Programme (P3/5)
Provision of support in the consolidation and
reinforcement of learning. It aims to address
misconceptions and strengthen understanding,
and in turn help build confidence in the learning
of mathematics.
Parallel/Co-Teach Classes Provide additional T&L support
E2K Mathematics Enrichment
Programme (P5)
An inquiry based programme which aims to
develop mathematical thinking and mathematical
communication
Mathematics Olympiad (P5) The training workshop aims to develop skills and
techniques to solve non-routine challenging
problems
Project Work (Code for Fun) (P3) –
in collaboration with Science Dept
Develop 21CC such as Communication,
Collaboration and Information Skills as well as
facilitate the exposure to coding and
computational thinking
INTEGRATED LEARNING JOURNEYS
Organised by different departments for different
levels.
Example: P3 – Gardens By The Bay
(organised by the Science Department)
– The mathematics component for the learning
journey is on Money.
– Authentic Learning using the admission fees

THINGS TO TAKE NOTE
There are 40 pupils in a class.
There are 14 more boys than girls in the class.
Find the number of girls in the class.
Girls
Boys
40
?
40 – 14 = 26
2 units = 26
1 unit = 26 ÷ 2
= 13
There are 13 girls.

Note• Mathematically incorrect workings/statements
Some examples
o Use of wrong units or wrong use of equal
signs
20 - 5 = 15 + 3 = 18 x 2 = 36
1.5 = 90
3 apples = $1.50
o Missing units
5000 = 5 km

So how can I help my child?
My Involvement … MEP Approach
Monitor
PartnerEncourage
My Involvement …
Monitor
• Be aware of progress (and challenges)
• Ensure homework is completed
My Involvement …
Encourage
• Help child to
– cultivate a positive learning attitude
– develop a passion in the subject
• Show application and draw links of Mathematics in daily
real-life situations
– E.g. GST, average, estimation, percentage
– E.g. measurement, volume, shapes
– E.g. conversion of currencies, weights
– E.g. football with angles
My Involvement …
Partner
• Use correct mathematical language
Example:
• Use correct presentation
Example:
3 pens = $1.50 × Cost of 3 pens = $1.50
“Borrow”, “Carry” × Regroup
My Involvement …
Partner
• Help child to develop Factual Fluency of mathematical
facts
• Use of UMNWA/HMNWA Approach for word problems
