Description
Course Overview:
Mavens - FAST classes are driven towards rigorous learning, where the already keen and confident students are engaged in higher-order thinking applications. Mavens Fast classes also encourage greater student involvement in its classroom learning to allow growth in students’ ability in their independent work.
Course Content:
Our upper primary programmes seek to ignite students’ passion for Mathematics through games, puzzles and other interesting activities. These activities are incorporated into our lessons to teach conceptual understanding, build on visual and spatial awareness and train various thinking skills in our students. We prepare our students well for topical concepts taught in schools with our systematic curriculum. In addition, students are also given an early start to bar model drawing and solving of word problems using various heuristics with emphasis on good work habits. Our programmes will help develop confidence and better mastery of mathematical foundational concepts in our lower primary students.

Learning Outcomes:
Apart from work about the local Primary 4 school syllabus, students are also exposed to activities and exercises that promote:
- Analytical, critical and logical thinking
- Application of heuristics and problem-solving skills
- Better understanding of mathematical concepts
- Greater appreciation for mathematics and its functionality in the real world
Teaching Methods:
- Small class sizes encourage greater student involvement in the classroom and allow teachers to provide support and attention to the child.
- A spiral approach is taken as we revisit topics or concepts previously taught, hence deepening, reinforcing and expanding the child's learning
- ROAR problem-solving process, where students will be taught to:
- Recognise the concept behind each sum
- Organise the information given using uniquely designed methods
- Act on the organised information to solve the problem sum
- Review the answer for reasonableness and accuracy
Prerequisites:
Students are expected to have a foundational understanding of Primary school math concepts based on pthe revious year's topics.
Assessment Methods:
No assessments will be done
Required Materials:
Stationary, Water bottle, and workbook
