©Overall

OBJECTIVES

1. Understand definitons,concepts,laws,principles,and theorems related to Number,Shape & Space and Relationship

2. Widen the use of basic operations of addition,subtraction,multiplication and division related to Number, Shape & Space and Relationship

3. Communicate mathematically

4. Apply knowledge and skills of mathematics in solving problems and making decisions

5. Appreciate the importance and beauty of mathematics.

The IMPORTANT element in content, namely:

NUMBERS

SHAPE & SPACE

RELATIONSHIP

NUMBER

The understanding of numbers enables students to make calculations and estimates, analyse and solve related problems.

This is a continuation of the primary school mathematics curriculum.

1. Whole Numbers

2. Fractions

3. Decimals

4. Percentages

5. Negative Numbers

6. Multiples and factors

7. Squares ,Square Roots,Cubes and Cube Roots

8.Standard Form

9.Number Bases

SHAPE & SPACE

An important component in the secondary school mathematics curriculum.

Knowledge and skills in this area and their application in related topics is useful in everyday life.

Improving understanding in this area helps students to effectively solve problems in geometry.

14. Plan and Elevation

15. Earth as a sphere

16. transformation

RELATIONSHIP The relationships between several quantities can

often be found in daily life. Therefore,the handling of relationships such as

recognizing a fomula or a law and making generalisations of a situation becomes a basic necessity.

A relationships can be expressed in the form of a table, a graph, a formula, an equation or an inequality.

The expression of the relationship in these forms becomes useful and an effective tool in problem solving and communication.
