Abstract
The Recommended Remediation Strategies for Parents and Guardians to support Students’ development of Core Content and Skills in Mathematics FORM ONE – FORM THREE document has been produced to provide strategies for parents and guardians to support the development of their children’s content and skills, to mitigate learning loss due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Diagnostic tests were developed and administered to all students in classes from Form One to Form Three in Secondary Government and Government Assisted Schools. These tests were based on the content strands: Number; Number Operations and Number Theory; Algebra; Sets, Relations and Functions; Measurement; Geometry; and Statistics as identified in the Curriculum Guide for Mathematics at the Lower Secondary Level. A response to the findings from these tests is a set of recommended strategies for remediation per strand or subtopic. They are being suggested as a guide to assist parents and guardians in developing students’ understanding by engaging students in activities which complement and reinforce classroom instruction, while students are at home in their natural environment. The recommendations are structured to sequentially develop the students’ understanding of concept and skill in each strand. Parents and guardians are therefore invited to use the strategies in sequence.
