KBSR Curriculum Specification for Mathematics
Philosophy,Aims & Objectives
Aims: Build pupils' understanding of number concepts and their basic skills in computation to apply in their daily routines
Objectives
: know and understand the concepts, definition , rules and principles related to numbers, operations, space, measures , and data representation
Master the skills of combined operations
Master basic Mathematical skills
Master the basic operations of Mathematics
Use Mathematical skills and knowledge to solve problems in everyday life
Philosophy:Produce individual who are intellectually, spiritually,emotionally and physically balance and harmonious based on a firm belief in God
Assessments
Well structured and carried out continuously as part of classroom activities
Different method of assessments : written, oral work and demonstration
Teacher rectify pupils' misconception and weakness based on results of assessment
Teaching and Learning Approaches
The learning ability and styles of learning
The use of relevant , suitable and effective teaching materials
Pupils centered learning that is interesting
Formative evaluation to determine the effectiveness of teaching and learning
Content Organizations
4 main areas: Numbers, Measures, Shape and Space and Statistics
Topics for each areas arrange from basic to abstract
Learning Areas
Include elements such as: Learning objectives, Suggested teaching and learning activities, learning outcomes, points to note and vocabulary
Teaching and Learning Emphasis
Communication in Mathematics
Communication through listening process occurs when individuals respond to what they hear and let them making decision using mathematical knowledge
Communication through reading process take place when an individual collects information or data and rearrange relationship between ideas and concepts
Communication through visualization process take place when an individual makes observation, analyses it, interprets and synthesis the data into graphic forms.
Mathematical reasoning
Pupils are encourage to predict and do guess work in the process of seeking solutions
Pupils at all levels have to trained to investigate their prediction or guesses by using concrete materials, calculators, computers, mathematical representation and others.
Closely related to intellectual and communicative development of the pupils
Problems solving in Mathematics
Problems solving strategies
Make analogy
Working backwards
Simulation
Make a table, chart or a systematic list
Identifying patterns and sequences
Draw a diagram
Trial and improvement
Trying a simple case
Solving skills:
Planning the strategy
Carrying out the strategy
Interpreting problems
Looking back at the solutions
Mathematical Connections
Advantages 1: Pupils able to see mathematics as an integrated whole rather than a jumble of unconnected ideas
Advantages 2: Pupils become more conscious in the application of mathematics when teacher mathematical ideas are connected with real life situations.
Mathematical Curriculum Areas: arithmetics, geometry, measures and problem solving
Application of Technology
Advantages: Pupils can absorb abstracts idea , be creative , feel confident and work independently or in groups.
Use of calculator, computers, educational software, websites in the internet and available learning packages can help to upgrade pedagogical skills in the teaching and learning of mathematics.
