• develop the abilities for learners to learn through cooperative or group work and independently.
• develop the mathematical thinking and problem solving skills and apply these skills to formulate and solve problems.
• the ability to acquire mathematics concepts and skills and make connections among maths ideas and between mathematics and other ideas.
• learn the abilities to apply basic Mathematics skills and concepts appropriately and accurately to realistic situations, especially Solomon Islanders by using their own experiences.
• apply the variety of mathematical tools both in the technology world and simple rural set up for one’s own survival and advancement.
