3) Heuristics Skills – The department has also put in place a progressive framework of Heuristics skills to be carried out from P1 to P3.
4) Decentralisation of Resources – More manipulatives will be made available to P1 to P3 teachers for use in the classrooms.
5) Maths support Programme – P1, P2 & P4 pupils weak in Maths are placed in the Learning support programme. These pupils are taught in a smaller class size. The above average P6 pupils are placed in another learning support programme taught by an experienced teacher to help stretch their ability in Maths.
