Mathematics lessons in MOE schools are starting to employ more digital and e-learning tools.
For instance, schools have begun to utilise the Singapore Student Learning Space, which is an online learning platform with educational tools and resources.
These resources allow teachers to monitor students’ progress in real time and identify concepts they are weak in.
Teachers can also use the platform to curate resources for students, such as YouTube videos and tutorials, or upload videos and animations that they have filmed or created themselves. Worksheets, group work and homework assignments, as well as subsequent feedback from teachers, can be put online and accessed outside the classroom.
Chemistry teacher Ramesh Ramalingam said teachers have formed groups to work on Student Learning Space lesson plans, where they “test” their lessons on one another before carrying these out in class.
