About Mathematics Scheme of Work for Primary 1

Primary one or Basic 1 is the stage where pupils will develop their Reading, Subtracting, Writing, Counting, Logical thinking, and Creative thinking abilities. This scheme of work will begin with pupils learning simple counting, before they move on to how to add, subtract, multiply and divide.

The topics covered are Numbers, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Measurements and Shape. The pupils will also be taught comparing and ordering of numbers, counting the numbers and also knowing how to put the numbers taught in writing and applying them in real life situations.

They will also be taught basic measurements and shapes, and using the things around them as ample illustration such as sugar cube(cube), match-box (cuboid), tin of milk- should be taught to the pupils using illustrations and the class should be an interactive class among the pupils as this learning condition will make the new topics taught to be easily understood by them.
