Department Mission

To provide quality and varied Mathematics programmes to engage the students in the learning of Mathematics for real-life application.

Department Approach

The learning of Mathematics in TKP is based on the Singapore Mathematics Curriculum Framework and the three phases of learning-Readiness, Engagement and Mastery. Instructional lessons are conducted using the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract Approach by providing our students with opportunities to handle concrete manipulatives and solve word problems using the “RIGHT√” strategy. Teachers make use of Thinking routines and Maths Talk in classroom discussion in the inquiry-based learning of Mathematics concepts and skills.
