Singapore Secondary School Mathematics Syllabus (G1, G2, G3)

This outlines the Mathematics syllabus for Secondary school students in Singapore, differentiated across G1, G2, and G3 levels. These levels cater to varying academic needs and interests, preparing students for different post-secondary pathways. The syllabuses share common overarching aims but differ in the breadth and depth of content covered. All emphasize problem-solving, connecting mathematical concepts to real-world applications, and developing 21st-century competencies. The framework includes Concepts, Skills, Processes, Metacognition, and Attitudes, with problem-solving at the core. Teaching and learning are structured around Readiness, Engagement, and Mastery phases, incorporating formative and summative assessments. Technology, blended learning, and STEM integration are also key components.

Common Features Across G1, G2, and G3

• Focus: Developing mathematical problem-solving competency.
• Framework: Five interrelated components:
• Concepts: Understanding mathematical ideas, properties, and relationships.
• Skills: Proficiency in operations, algorithms, visualization, data handling, and tool use.
• Processes: Practices like abstracting, reasoning, representing, communicating, applying, and modeling.
• Metacognition: Awareness and control of one's thinking processes.
• Attitudes: Positive belief, confidence, motivation, interest, and perseverance in mathematics.
• Learning Phases:
• Readiness: Preparing students for learning.
• Engagement: Active interaction with new material.
• Mastery: Consolidation and extension of learning.
• Assessment: Formative and summative assessments to monitor progress and guide instruction.
• Real-World Contexts: Applying math concepts to everyday situations, personal finance, and data analysis.
• 21st Century Competencies: Developing critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
• STEM Integration: Connecting math to other STEM disciplines and real-world problems.
• Blended Learning: Integrating different learning modes, including home-based learning and student-initiated learning.
• Technology Integration: Utilizing computational tools and digital resources.
