Use of Calculators at P5 & P6
AIMS
Widen the repertoire of teaching and
learning approaches to include
investigations and problems in
authentic situations
AIMS
Achieve a better balance between
the emphasis on computational
skills and problem solving skills
Use of Calculators at P5 & P6
AIMS
Help students to develop greater
confidence in doing mathematics,
particularly those with difficulty
learning the subject
Use of Calculators at P5 & P6
Students’ basic computational
skills may be weakened
Concepts must be
taught well first before
the use of calculators
Remind pupils that
basic computational
skills are still important
as it is required in
Paper 1
Good PracticesConcerns
Concerns
Pupils are not able to decide when to use the calculator
Make use of the
calculator symbol as a guide
Good Practices
Concerns
Pupils tend to
leave out the working
steps leading to their
final answers
Cultivate the habit of writing working steps in daily work as method marks are awarded for correct steps shown

Day of PPs/SAs/PSLE
• Have a good breakfast
• Avoid solving Mathematics questions
• Enjoy the paper – take it as a challenge
Getting Prepared
•Day of PPs/SAs/PSLE
• Circle questions that she cannot solve in any examinations and move on to the next question
• Complete the rest of the paper before returning to the question
Have CONFIDENCE in themselves!
