Position
Living in an information era driven by
઺ ኪ ၾ technology and creativity, students need
knowledge and skills that could help them
overcome the dynamic challenges, and
Mathematics constitutes an important share
in educating them. Mathematics and its
applications pervade all aspects of life in the
modern world as it determines the development
of different industries and commerce, the

provision of social and community services as
well as government policies and planning.

Curriculum Aims

Mathematics is essential in the school
curriculum of Hong Kong, as it is:
(a) a powerful means for developing various
abilities in a technology-oriented and
information-rich society;
(b) a powerful means of communication;
Teaching and Learning
(c) a tool for studying other disciplines;
(d) an intellectual endeavour and a mode of
thinking, and
(e) a discipline through which students can
develop their ability to appreciate the
beauty of nature, manage uncertainty and
make sound judgements.

Mathematics education supports the learning of other subjects. It contributes significantly to the whole-person
development of students in schools, prepares them for multiple pathways to post-secondary education and future
careers, and hence plays an important role in the Hong Kong education.

Direction
The Mathematics Department aims to:
• develop students’ ability to think critically and creatively;
conceptualize, inquire and reason mathematically, and to use
mathematics to formulate and solve problems in daily life as
well as in mathematical contexts and other disciplines;
• highlight the importance of e-learning for enhancing learning

• highlight the Language-across-curriculum (LAC) strategies
such as promoting reading in Mathematics to develop students’
understanding of the connections between mathematics and

and attitudes in an integrative manner through various Mathematics learning activities.
