How do we foster children's mathematical thinking?
What is the real-life application of mathematics?
How do we ignite children's interest in maths?
These are questions close to our hearts.
At Wellington College Hangzhou, our maths teachers excel in promoting pupils' mathematical literacy and skills through innovative curriculum designs and a spectrum of activities, steering them towards applying mathematical thinking to everyday challenges.
We are convinced that a genuine love for mathematics emerges when learning it becomes an engaging, not an onerous, task.
Our annual Maths Week, orchestrated by the maths departments of the schools, concluded successfully last week. With the theme ‘Maths in the Digital Age: Innovation Through Numbers’, it aimed to inspire pupils to explore the close link between mathematics and our modern world, particularly its pivotal role in artificial intelligence.
Teachers curated an array of activities, experiments and workshops, spanning from mathematical investigations to foundational programming. These were tailored to the cognitive development of pupils at various ages and addressed their diverse learning needs. This interactive learning journey allowed pupils to not only grasp practical problem-solving using mathematics but also to revel in the boundless allure of the subject, discovering the joy of engaging with math in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.
