In its efforts to partner parents in education to support the children’s learning of Math, the Math department will continue with its efforts to provide parents with the just in time Math Misconception Fact Sheet for all levels prior to semestral assessments. The Math Misconception Fact Sheet is a collation of the misconceptions of various Math concepts and the common errors made by the pupils in their math learning. It identifies the areas of concern and aims to assist parents in supporting their children in their revision for the semestral assessments.
