The Mathematics programme in Dunman High School spans across six years.  Our content is aligned to ensure that students move from Junior High to Senior High seamlessly and the content coverage extends beyond the basic syllabus in breadth and depth. 

In Junior High, we emphasize on the importance of problem solving, making connections across mathematics topics and bringing out the real-life application of Mathematics.  We seek to bring out the interconnectivity between Mathematics and the other disciplines.  The curriculum is differentiated and caters to the students’ learning needs, readiness and interests.  Students develop the skills to reason logically, to communicate mathematically, and to learn cooperatively and independently through oral presentations and mini projects. In their mini projects, students look at the connection between mathematics and other disciplines, such as Geography, Physics and Chemistry. Students are also exposed to mathematics research to equip them with skills to pursue research work in the future. We include “History of Mathematics” to allow students to appreciate how mathematical knowledge is created by mathematicians and to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the beauty of the subject. Talks by mathematicians are held annually to keep students updated on new developments and applications of mathematics in real life.

At Senior High, our students have the option to offer H1 Mathematics or H2 Mathematics for their GCE ‘A’ Level examinations.  The curriculum continues to develop our students’ mathematical thinking and problem solving skills, with an emphasis on conceptual understanding and skills in reasoning, applications and modelling with the use of technology. Students will have opportunities to conjecture, discover and reason in mathematics.  For those who show passion and the aptitude to go further in Mathematics, they can choose to offer MOE-H3 Mathematics, NUS Linear Algebra or NTU Numbers and Matrices.  These programmes allow students to further develop their mathematical modelling and reasoning skills.  Students will also learn the process of mathematical modelling for real-world problems, which involves making informed assumptions, validation and prediction.

Through our collaborations with the Gifted Education Branch, Ministry of Education, National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and our overseas partners, students have opportunities to undergo tailored training programmes and participate in various international and nation-wide mathematics competitions, such as the Singapore Mathematics Olympiads, American Mathematics Competition, Australian Mathematics Competition, Singapore Mathematical Society Project Festival, CHAOS and Master Classes.

Apart from curriculum time, students are exposed to various aspects of Mathematics such as Competition Training and other Mathematical electives.  Being a Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school, students are immersed in a rich Chinese culture.  The Mathematics Department also aims to bring out this unique feature of our school in our choice of electives.  Students are given the choice to pursue Ancient Chinese Mathematics as their elective, so that they can once again link the interdisciplinary knowledge that they have acquired and gain a deeper understanding of the Chinese culture. 

Apart from the Mathematics Curriculum, our students also attend Financial Literacy lessons.  Through these lessons, students learn about the importance of financial literacy.  They will be taught good financial habits and these invaluable life skills can prepare the students to acquire sound values which will take them through life as responsible adults and active citizens. 

本校6年数学课程不但连贯初中与高中，在内容上也比一般课程更深广。

初中课程注重问题解答、不同章节概念的联系和数学在现实生活中的应用等。除此之外，课程也注重数学与其他学科之间的相互关系。课程难度的不同设计也能迎合不同的学习能力和兴趣的需要。通过此课程，学生不但能培养逻辑推理思维，也能学习如何以数学的方式进行沟通。本校也应用口述报道和迷你作业等方式来让学生掌握独立学习和团队合作的技巧。在迷你作业中，学生也将探索数学与其他学科（如地理，物理，化学等）的密切关系。学生还有机会接触数学研究，从而学习相关技能以备日后之需。本课程中的“数学史”也让学生明白数学知识创造的过程，使他们更懂得欣赏这门学科的价值。另外，每年邀请大学教授来开设的讲座，也让学生对数学发展和应用有进一步的认识。

在高中部，学生可选修‘A'水准的H2或H1课程。课程将延续初中部的教学理念，通过数学概念、推理、技巧和数学建模的管道，继续培养和提高学生理解和解题能力。他们将有机会利用相关知识对数学问题进行推测、探讨和论证。能力较强并有兴趣的学生，也可以选择内容更丰富和具挑战性的 H3课程。这些学生将能从教育部、国大或南大所设的课程中选择其一。H3课程旨在让学生更进一步提升他们的数学建模和推理能力。值得一提的是学生将通过以现实生活为背景的建模过程，学习如何更好地做出明智的假设、验证和预测。

在我校与教育部高材部门、国大、南大和其他海外合作伙伴的配合下，学生将有机会接受专门培训课程，并参与各种国际和全国性的数学比赛 （如新加坡奥林匹克数学比赛，美国数学竞赛，澳大利亚数学竞赛等）。他们同时也可参加新加坡数学协会所举办的展览会，或报读数学高级班等。

除了正式课程外，学生也有机会参加数学比赛训练班，或报读其他数学选修科。身为特选学校，我校有着浓厚的中华文化色彩。数学部为了配合这特点，也特地提供“中国古代数学”这门选修科，以加深学生对中华文化的了解。本校也教导学生基本的金融知识，以让他们了解其重要性，同时也培养良好的理财习惯。这些宝贵的生活技能培养学生正确的价值观，使他们在未来能成为积极和负责任的公民。
