About Cambridge Primary Mathematics (0096)
Cambridge Primary Mathematics encourages life-long enthusiasm for analytical and rational thinking. Learners develop a holistic understanding of the subject, focussing on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships. Learners become mathematically competent and fluent in computation, which they can apply to everyday situations
A unique feature of our primary mathematics curriculum is ‘Thinking and Working Mathematically’, which comprises of eight characteristics that are intertwined and interdependent: specialising, generalising, conjecturing, convincing, characterising, classifying, critiquing and improving.
A high-quality mathematics task may draw on one or more of these characteristics. The process of thinking and working mathematically encourages learners to talk with others, challenge ideas and to provide evidence that validates conjectures and solutions. When learners are thinking and working mathematically, they actively seek to make sense of ideas and build connections between different facts, procedures and concepts.
3rd Grade Mathematics, which is called Stage 4 in the Cambridge Curriculum focuses on these main STANDARDS:
NUMBER - Counting & sequences; Integers and powers; Place value, ordering, and rounding; Fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio, and proportion
GEOMETRY AND MEASURE - Time; Geometrical reasoning, shapes and measurements; Position and transformations
STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY - Statistics (i.e. questions, data, patterns, predictions); Probability (i.e. describe and compare possible outcomes, identify when 2 events can happen at the same time and not, recognise that some probabilities can only be modeled through experiments using large number of trials, and conducting chance experiments/simulations)
