Mathematics, Principles of Accounts (POA) & Elements of Business Skills (EBS) 

Our Belief: Cultivating Champions of Reasoning and Innovation 

The Mathematics, POA, and EBS curriculum at Greenridge Secondary empowers our Greenridge Champions with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to apply learning in authentic and meaningful ways. Mathematics develops problem solvers who think critically and logically. POA equips students with financial literacy and analytical skills to interpret business transactions. EBS nurtures entrepreneurial thinking and practical business awareness. Together, these subjects foster adaptable Champions who are ready to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. 

Mathematics, POA & EBS through IDEAS 

Imagine 

Our Greenridge Champions learn to envision possibilities by tackling real-world challenges through Mathematical Modelling tasks. They experiment with different strategies, design solutions, and express creativity in how they present their models. In EBS, Champions imagine themselves as entrepreneurs and business owners during learning journeys to retail and hospitality settings, visualising how businesses meet consumer needs. 

Discover 

Inquiry and exploration are central to learning. In Mathematics, Champions deepen understanding through activity-based learning and teacher-directed inquiry, asking questions, investigating patterns, and uncovering connections across concepts. In POA, they use Excel spreadsheets to prepare financial reports and income statements, discovering how digital tools are applied in professional practice. In EBS, students gain insights into the business world through authentic observations and data collection, preparing for coursework and future applications. 

Express 

Champions learn to communicate their reasoning clearly, whether it is explaining algebra during the Sec 2 Algebra Clinic, presenting mathematical models to peers and teachers, or defending their solutions during class discussions. EBS students express their business knowledge creatively through activities like the Digital Tic-Tac-Toe competition, where gamification helps them apply concepts interactively and present their choices with confidence. 

Accomplish 

Greenridge Champions demonstrate excellence when they apply learning in authentic and competitive platforms. Lower Secondary students build teamwork and resilience through Mathematical Modelling projects, while higher ability students stretch themselves in the Australian Mathematics Competition and the Singapore Mathematics Olympiad. EBS Champions showcase their knowledge at the nationwide Digital Tic-Tac-Toe competition, while POA students apply financial reporting skills with precision using ICT. These achievements highlight the confidence and versatility our Champions bring to their disciplines. 

Serve 
Learning in Mathematics, POA, and EBS extends beyond examinations. Our Greenridge Champions apply their knowledge to solve problems, analyse data, and propose actions that can support communities and businesses. They develop financial awareness, business literacy, and critical reasoning that empower them to serve society responsibly as informed citizens and ethical contributors to Singapore’s future economy. 

Key Features of Mathematics, POA & EBS @ Greenridge
