IGCSE Mathematics Department
“Do not worry about your difficulties in maths, I can ensure you mine are still greater"
— ALBERT EINSTEIN
Our Aims
The Mathematics Department strives to inspire a lifelong passion for mathematics for all students. Our courses are designed to instil a deep understanding of mathematical concepts with the ability to apply knowledge in unfamiliar contexts. We encourage our students to be critical thinkers and problem solvers.
The Growth Threshold and Assessment Model (GTAM) we are using is well suited to Mathematics. We encourage the students to try different methods to solve problems and to learn that a wrong method can inform your reasoning and ultimately lead to a correct method.
Our Curriculum
In Years 7-9 the students follow the KS3 National Curriculum of England which gives them a grounding in the basics of Mathematics across a wide range of topics. The topics are split up into Number and Algebra, Shape, Information Handling and Using and Applying Mathematics. At KS4, we offer 2 IGCSE syllabi: Mathematics and Additional Mathematics. Mathematics is compulsory for all students and the majority follow the extended syllabus. Additional Mathematics is an option for students and we have a high intake for these classes. However all students opting for Additional Mathematics are required to sit for an assessment test. Additional Mathematics is equivalent in difficulty to Standard Level of IBDP. At KS5, we offer Mathematics at both Higher Level and Standard Level.
We visited numerous international schools in Klang-Valley and Sri KDU Subang Jaya was not even on our list. Reason being it is way out of our travelling radius. However, we are glad we made the visit to the school before our final call, and it was the best decision ever! It was a huge transition period for us during the first 2 weeks into school, but the school’s team (Teachers, Administrative and Parent’s Teacher Association) made us feel right at home. We were given clear guidance and was kept well informed on the happenings in the school. My daughter blended into the community quite well with the care provided by the Homeroom teacher. All the teachers here are the kindest, as she told me. She looks forward to going to school and has become more disciplined in terms on knowing what tasks she needs to complete daily. She has gained so much confidence during this short period of time and was given the encouragement to explore and develop her abilities here. She was just selected as the new Primary House Captain for Year 6 AY2022/2023.
Every parent want to find the ‘perfect’ school for their child and are afraid of making the wrong decision. For us, as long she is safe and happy, we believe, she will eventually find the way to her own success.
