Mathematics

Vision
Fuhuanites: Problem Solvers for the 21st Century

Mission
To nurture Fuhuanites who are able to think practically, critically and systematically

Approach
The department adopts a Practical-Critical-Systematic approach to the teaching and learning of Mathematics:

Practical – Applying Mathematics in real-world contexts to make sense of and solve everyday problems;
Critical – Exercising sound reasoning in decision-making and using metacognitive skills to monitor and refine one’s thinking;
Systematic – Developing computational thinking skills and inculcating heuristics to solve problems algorithmically and systematically.

Key Programmes
The Mathematics Department nurtures Fuhuanites to be critical, adaptive and inventive thinkers. Students are given opportunities to appreciate the beauty, power and relevance of Mathematics through authentic problem solving in real-world contexts. Through the Mathematics curriculum, the department aims to cultivate curiosity, deep conceptual understanding, and the joy of learning, while helping students see how Mathematics connects to the world around them.

Talent Development Programme
The Talent Development Programme supports selected students in harnessing their passion for Mathematics and honing their higher-order thinking and reasoning skills through deeper exploration and challenge. Students have access to enrichment opportunities that extend their learning beyond the classroom. These include participation in competitions such as the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad, the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad, and the NIE Mathematics Challenge, where students apply problem-solving heuristics to solve higher-order thinking questions.
