Mathematics
Building Thinkers, Problem-Solvers, and Innovators
At Specialists Junior School, Mathematics is not just about numbers — it’s about developing logical thinking, curiosity, and confidence in solving real-world problems.
From counting in Early Childhood Development to handling complex word problems in Grade 7, our learners are guided to understand concepts deeply, not just memorize answers.

ZIMSEC Focus
Our Approach to Teaching Mathematics
Discover how Specialists Junior School builds confident, problem-solving learners through a strong Mathematics program that prepares pupils for ZIMSEC Grade 7 exams. We aim to produce mathematically literate learners — children who can reason, question, and apply their knowledge with creativity and accuracy.
We focus on understanding why something works, not just how.
Lessons are structured around discovery and reasoning rather than rote learning. Learners use objects, drawings, and practical examples to grasp mathematical ideas.
Each grade builds upon the previous one — ensuring a strong foundation in:
- Number operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
- Fractions and decimals
- Measurement, time, and money
- Shapes and geometry
- Data handling and simple statistics
- Problem-solving and logical reasoning
We connect mathematics to daily life — budgeting, shopping, cooking, sports, and school events — helping learners see that math is everywhere.
ICT tools, games, and interactive exercises (including computer-based quizzes) make lessons engaging and relevant to the digital world.
How We Nurture Mathematical Thinking:
- Group Activities: learners work in pairs or teams to solve puzzles.
- Math Games and Competitions: make learning fun and build confidence.
- Daily Mental Maths: quick drills that strengthen calculation and memory.
- Remedial Support: extra lessons for learners needing additional help.
- Challenge Tasks: enrichment activities for high-achieving pupils.
