2ND SINGAPORE MATH LEARNING FESTIVAL

The 2nd Singapore Math Learning Festival will be held on February 9, 2013 at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Ortigas. The conference will focus on how Singapore Math can complement and provide supplementary learning to the implementation of the K-12 program, a new development of the Department of Education. 

The K-12 program is an initiative to give students opportunities to master essential skills and competencies by stretching and extending their learning years to the 12th grade. It focuses on depth rather than on breadth, giving them more time to realize the importance of each concept and connect it to more complex and higher learning.

In this age of global competitiveness, parents are looking for schools that would unlock the potential of each child in the core subjects, one of each is Mathematics. Schools are now adopting Singapore Math into their Math curriculum and instruction, which has paved the way in creating excellent critical thinkers and better Math students.

Parents, teachers and school administrators might ask, "What is Singapore Math and how does it fit into the K-12 curriculum?"

Singapore Math focuses on developing critical thinking through mastery of foundational skills. It teaches students a systematic way of learning seemingly difficult math concepts through child-friendly terms and relatable experiences. This complements the K-12 curriculum, as it strengthens key concepts and provides opportunities to apply it in daily activities as well as in other subjects.

There will be concurrent learning sessions that will tackle topics such as the basics of Singapore Math, how Singapore Math can be applied in various activities inside and outside the classroom, manipulatives and materials enhance a child's learning capabilities, innovative activities in teaching Geometry and Fractions, and how Singapore Math helps students transition from basic to algebraic concepts.

The conference will also feature a plenary lecture by Dra. Queena Lee-Chua Math professor and multi-awarded  educator,  and her son Scott Chua, a multi-awarded student and a Carlos Palanca Awardee for Literature.
