TW063
Mathematical Reasoning in Algebra (3 Hours to 6 Hours)

Algebra is one of the main areas of concern for Secondary School Mathematics curriculum. Activities to make the learning of Algebra more interesting, through associating mathematical reasoning and incorporating higher order thinking skills to motivate the pupils, will be introduced.

TW064
Activity-based Learning in Algebra and Arithmetic (3 Hours)

Algebra and arithmetic can be learnt through many activities rather than following through textbook exercises and practices. In this workshop, teachers acquire how such activities can be designed and some problems and issues to take note.

TW065
Series of Additional Mathematics Workshops

The new Additional Mathematics syllabus will incorporate some new topics. These series of workshops serve as refresher courses for teachers. All these courses are modular. Schools can select any one of the courses below:

• Teaching of Partial Fractions (3 hours)
• Quadratic Equations and Functions, Roots and Coefficients of Equations (3 hours)
• Trigonometry (4 hours)
• Proofs in Plane Geometry (6 hours)
