About Singapore Education Singapore
It focuses on developing
high-quality workforce as human resource is the only resource in Singapore.
Teaching resources
including textbooks are prepared to facilitate school programmes that can achieve this goal.

About Singapore Education Singapore
Teacher training to coach teachers to bring textbooks to life are conducted by NIE for pre-service and in-service teachers.
University graduates in mathematics and engineering undergo one-year training before they become mathematics teachers in schools where they also teach another subject.

Education System in Singapore
Primary School 6 YearsNational Test: PSLESecondary School 4 or 5 YearsNational Test: GCE O LevelJunior College 2 or 3 YearsNational Test: GCE A Level
We have Independent, Autonomous, Government-Aided and Government Schools.
We also have specialized schools like sports school, school for the arts, science and technology school, mathematics and science high school as well as two schools for struggling students. Some students go polytechnics after secondary school.

The Singapore mathematics curriculum states that “an emphasis on mathematics
education will ensure that we have an increasingly competitive workforce
to meet the challenges of the 21st century”
![Page 10: Spiral Approach For Mathematics Teaching Manila Jan2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/54beb8094a7959ca0c8b4583/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The rationale of teaching mathematics is that it is “a good vehicle for the
development and improvement of a person’s intellectual competence”.

Mathematics Curriculum in Singapore
New Syllabus Mathematics is used for
Secondary 1 to Secondary 4.
New Syllabus Additional Mathematics is used by students good in mathematics in Secondary 3 and Secondary 4.

TEACHING THROUGH PROBLEM SOLVING
Example from NSM Textbooks

WHAT IS PROBLEM SOLVING?Example from National Test in Singapore
![Page 17: Spiral Approach For Mathematics Teaching Manila Jan2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/54beb8094a7959ca0c8b4583/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
National Test Grade 10
A fly, F, starts at a point with position vector (i + 12j) cm and crawls across the surface with a velocity of (3i + 2j) cm s-1. At the instant the fly starts crawling, a spider, S, at the point with position vector (85i + 5j) cm, sets off across the surface with a velocity of (-5i + kj) cm s-1, where k is a constant. Given that the spider catches the fly, calculate the value of k.
![Page 18: Spiral Approach For Mathematics Teaching Manila Jan2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/54beb8094a7959ca0c8b4583/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
(1, 12)
(4, 14)
(7, 16)
(1+3t, 12+2t)
At time t, the fly is at (1+3t, 12+2t)
And the spider is at (85-5t, k+5t)
Given that the fly caught the spider:
1 + 3t = 85 – 5t and 12 + 2t = k + 5t
8t = 84 or t = 10.5
k = 12 – 3 (10.5) = …

Spiral Approach
• Primary 6– Writing expressions in one variable
• Secondary 1– Writing expressions in more than one variables– Factorisation
• ax + by • ax + bx + kay + kby

Spiral Approach
• Secondary 2– Factorisation
• a2x2 – b2y2 • a2 + 2ab + b2 • ax2 + bx + c
• Secondary 3 – 4– Factorisation
• cubic expressions* • other expressions* (e.g. trigonometric expressions
reducible to quadratic or cubic expressions)
