In a departure from traditional teaching methods in mathematics, educators within the education sector are crafting fresh strategies to impart the subject. The goal is to foster increased receptivity among students and potentially transform Math into an enjoyable experience.

Assistant Secretary General, JTA, Dr. Margaret Chin acknowledges the nation’s struggles with mathematics, and shares that the objective is to demystify Math by incorporating literacy, thereby infusing vitality into mathematical scenarios.
