and Space and Relationship.
3. Acquire basic mathematical skills:
• Making estimation and rounding
• Measuring and constructing
• Collecting and handling data
• Representing and interpreting data
• Recognising and representing relationship mathematically
• Using algorithm and relationship
• Solving problems
• Making decisions
4. Communicate mathematically.
5. Apply knowledge and skills of mathematics in solving problems and making decisions.
6. Relate mathematics with other areas of knowledge.
7. Use suitable technologies in concept building, acquiring skills, solving problems and exploring the field of
mathematics.
8. Acquire mathematical knowledge and develop skills effectively and use them responsibly.
9. Inculcate a positive attitude towards mathematics.
10. Appreciate the importance and beauty of mathematics.
