CS5 Blended Learning Station Rotation Model (SRM) –
Engaging High-Ability Learners in Mixed-Ability Classrooms
Date: 16 March 2026
Time: 1400-1530
Venue: Online (Meeting details will be sent via email before the event)
Presenters:
Mrs Arif Hong (CHIJ Kellock)
Ms Adeline Goh Tung Li (CHIJ Kellock)
In this session, participants will explore how the Station Rotation Model (SRM) effectively addresses high-ability learners' needs within mixed-ability mathematics classrooms. Using Primary 5 Mathematics topic on ‘Four Operations of Whole Numbers’ - Order of Operations and Looking at Pattern Structures as context, this approach demonstrates how teachers can simultaneously challenge high-ability learners while supporting diverse learning needs in strengthening their understanding of the order of operations and ability to identify and generalize numerical patterns.
Through SRM, the classroom is intentionally designed to include different learning stations where students rotate between tasks independently, in pairs, or in small groups. This structure strategically differentiates learning experiences, allowing high-ability learners to engage in mathematical thinking and exploration, while other students work at appropriate readiness levels.
The blended learning SRM, promotes active, self-directed learning and fosters deeper conceptual understanding for all learners through varied modalities including hands-on activities, collaborative problem-solving, and technology-enhanced tasks. Teachers can provide continuous intellectual stimulation for high-ability learners while maintaining appropriate support for all students in the classroom. This inclusive approach ensures that high-ability learners remain engaged and challenged, fostering their passion for mathematics and supporting their continuous growth within diverse learning environments.
Mrs Hong has served as a Lead Teacher (Mathematics) at CHIJ Kellock since 2017, having previously held the position of Head of Department-Mathematics. She was the inaugural recipient of the Excellence in Mathematics Teaching Award (EMTA) in 2017, an accolade presented by the Association of Mathematics Educators (AME) to honour teachers who demonstrate passion for mathematics teaching, exemplary classroom practices and leadership within the wider mathematics fraternity.
Since 2019, Mrs Hong has been involved in teacher training through the Mathematics E2K programme, contributing to the professional development of educators. Her involvement underscores her belief in supporting teachers to deliver cognitively challenging and meaningful learning experiences.
In 2025, she presented her school’s team project, “Blended Learning Station Rotation Model and Students’ Engagement in Mathematics Learning,” at the 9th ICMI–East Asia Regional Conference on Mathematics Education in South Korea, showcasing her continued commitment to innovative pedagogical approaches and research-informed practice.
Ms Adeline Goh is the HOD Ed Tech in Kellock. She has 25 years of experience in teaching and believes in harnessing the affordances of technology to enhance teaching and learning for future-ready learners. In 2023 and 2024, Adeline was invited as one of the panelists for the SLS Spotlight, where she shared insights on enhancing teaching and learning with AI and the use of a one-stop hub for departments in the schools. Both sessions were featured on SLS Facebook Live, highlighting her contributions to advancing technology-enabled learning.
