RATIONALEThere is a need for all primary school pupils in Barbados today to experience a shift in emphasis in the teaching/learning process in mathematicsfrom that which was practised twenty or even five years ago. The rapid advances in computer technology, the easy accessibility of inexpensivecalculators, the implementation of the project, EduTech 2000 and the ever-increasing rate of change in all aspects of society require that pupilsdevelop new skills and attitudes to meet these demands.It is no longer sufficient that pupils develop proficiency in computation and in applying that computation to their day-to-day problems. By thetime these pupils reach adolescence and adulthood in the twenty-first century, they will be faced with new problems and challenges. It is crucial,therefore, that these pupils be a part of an environment which allows them to think, reason, and solve problems using as much of the availabletechnology as possible. Pupils of different ages think, reason and solve problems at different levels, but all pupils are capable of rational thought,reasoning and solving problems.This Primary Mathematics Syllabus supports the new initiatives of the Ministry of Education, which stress that:the child-centred approaches be used in conjunction with the traditional teacher-centred approachesproblem-solving should be the focus of mathematics instructionreasoning about mathematics should be used to help pupils make sense of mathematics, rather than just memorizing rules andproceduresmathematics is an ideal subject for the development of critical-, creative- and decision-making skills of the pupils from at a veryearly agemanipulatives are powerful tools that can help pupils link the concrete experiences to pictorial representations and finally toabstract symbols to build mathematical understandingmathematics should be connected to other subject areas and to the pupils' everyday experiences to make it meaningful

information technology, namely, calculators and computers, be used as tools to help pupils explore and develop concepts andsolve problemsinstruction using the multi-media approach, visual, auditory and tactile/kinesthetic should be used to reach all pupilsassessment should be multi-faceted and evaluate what pupils can do and understandThrough the piloting and implementation of this syllabus and the feedback and consultation from teachers and other educators,modifications will be made to ensure that this document is user-friendly to all teachers of mathematics in primary schools in Barbados.

GENERAL OBJECTIVESThe general objectives for the primary mathematics syllabus are to help pupils: acquire a range of mathematical techniques and skills develop an awareness of the importance of accuracy in computation develop an awareness of mathematics in their environment cultivate the ability to apply mathematical knowledge to the solutions of problems in their daily lives cultivate the ability to think logically, creatively and critically use technology to explore mathematical situations.

FORMAT OF THE SYLLABUSIn addition to the syllabus for Class 1, this document contains the following sections: Scope and Sequence, Attainment Targets andSuggested Activities and Assessment Procedures. Highlighted in the syllabus are the integration of technology into instruction and thedevelopment of critical, creative and decision-making skills. Both areas were already in use but are now being highlighted because of theneed to have all pupils computer literate and to be critical and creative in their thoughts and actions.The nature of mathematics instruction requires that concepts are introduced in the earlier stages and developed in the later stages. TheScope and Sequence therefore, indicates the classes in which a topic is to be introduced and developed. The indicates in which classthe topic/skill/concept should be introduced and the indicates that the concept has to be developed and maintained in these classes.The Attainment Targets are presented as a list of objectives and indicate what each pupil should be able to achieve at the end of theschool year. It is understood that because of varying abilities and aptitudes, some pupils might be able to achieve a higher standard thanthat which is set and some may not be able to complete all the objectives for the particular age group. The targets for a particular classrepresent the objectives that should be achieved at that level, in addition to those of the lower classes.The Suggested Activities included in the syllabus will ensure that pupils use and apply mathematics to promote mathematical reasoning,make decisions and analyse data. In addition, the proposed tasks meet both the individual needs of the pupils as well as provide activitiesfor group work, thereby facilitating collaboration between pupils, teachers and parents, while consolidating instruction and developing thenecessary skills.Assessment is a fundamental part of the teaching and learning process. It should measure not only what the pupils know and can produce,but should provide more authentic information about the learner. Further, continuous assessment is essential in monitoring the progressof pupils and teachers are therefore encouraged to use mathematics profiles to record each child’s progress. To this end a variety ofassessment methods should be utilised including achievement tests, portfolio assessment, journals and discussions.

The Integration of Technology is integral to mathematics instruction and can be beneficial in areas such as computation, geometry, datahandling and problem solving. The use of technology is particularly effective in reducing the fear and anxiety associated with learningmathematics, since it allows the pupils to focus less speed and memorization and more on the processes necessary to obtain the solutions.Teachers are encouraged to use strategies and methodologies to develop Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills. The mathematicsclassroom should provide the opportunity for pupils to formulate problems from everyday situations, use concrete materials, reasonlogically and use a variety of problems solving strategies.

ATTAINMENT TARGETSINTRODUCTIONThe Attainment Targets in Mathematics set out the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours that pupils are expected to have by the endof the class. They enable schools to give future citizens the knowledge and skills they need to acquire a range of mathematical skills andtechniques.These Mathematics Attainment Targets are designed to ensure that pupils: understand, apply and analyse mathematical concepts; select and perform computations appropriate to specific problems; use mathematical language appropriately; develop the ability to apply mathematical knowledge to everyday situations.4

Simulate and create problems involving everyday situations and solve those and other problems using a variety of strategies.The pupil should be able to: use technology to formulate/create problems from everyday situations; apply a variety of problem solving strategies to solve problems and explain the variety of strategies used; explain and justify the solutions to questions; use technology to solve problems beyond the pencil-and-paper skills; interpret charts, tables and graphs; use a variety of mental computations and estimation techniques; work cooperatively in groups to solve problems.Understand and explain basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) involving whole numbers bymodelling and discussing a variety of problem solving situations.The pupil should be able to: read and write numbers up to 999; compare and order numbers up to 999; determine the place value of a digit in numbers up to 999; add and subtract whole numbers up to 999; multiply and divide whole numbers up to 999 by one-digit numbers;5
