1.0 INTRODUCTION

The aim of education is to turn out creative children who would suit the modern world. To achieve this, the school curriculum should be revised according to
the needs of the time.

nts
e
Thus, it had been decided to introduce a competency based syllabus in 2009. The earlier revision of the G.C.E. (Advanced Level) Combined Mathematics
syllabus was conducted in 1998. One of the main reason for the need to revise the earlier syllabus had been that in the Learning - Teaching- Assessment

m
process, competencies and competency levels had not been introduced adequately. It has been planned to change the existing syllabus that had been
designed on a content based approach to a competency based curriculum in 2009. In 2007, the new curriculum revision which started at Grades 6 and 10 had

m
introduced a competency based syllabi to Mathematics. This was continued at Grades 7 and 11 in 2008 and it continued to Grades 8 and 12 in 2009.

Co
Therefore, a need was arisen to provide a competency based syllabus for Combined Mathematics at G.C.E.(Advanced Level) syllabus the year 2009.

After implementing the Combined Mathematics syllabus in 2009 it was revisited in the year 2012. In the following years teachers views and experts opinion

or
about the syllabus, was obtained and formed a subject comittee for the revision of the Combined Mathematics syllabus by acommodating above opinions the
committee made the necessary changes and revised the syllabus to implement in the year 2017.

F
The student who has learnt Mathematics at Grades 6-11 under the new curriculum reforms through a competency based approach, enters grade 12 to learn
Combined Mathematics at Grades 12 and 13 should be provided with abilities, skills and practical experiences for his future needs. and these have been
identified and the new syllabus has been formulated accordingly. It is expected that all these competencies would be achieved by pupils who complete
learning this subject at the end of Grade 13.

Pupils should achieve the competencies through competency levels and these are mentioned under each learning outcomes

It also specifies the content that is needed for the pupils to achieve these competency levels. The number of periods that are needed to implement the
process of Learning-Teaching and Assessment also mentioned in the syllabus.

Other than the facts mentioned regarding the introduction of the new curriculum, what had already been presented regarding the introduction of Combined
Mathematics Syllabus earlier which are mentioned below too are valid.

8.0 TEACHING LEARNING STRATEGIES

To facilitate the students to achieve the anticipated outcome of this course, a variety of teaching stategies must be employed. If students are to improve
their mathematical communication, for example, they must have the opportunity to discuss interpretations, solution, explanations etc. with other students
as well as their teacher. They should be encouraged to communicate not only in writing but orally, and to use diagrams as well as numerial, symbolic and
word statements in their explanations.

en t s
Students learn in a multitude of ways. Students can be mainly visual, auditory or kinesthetic learners, or employ a variety of senses when learning. The

om m
range of learning styles in influenced by many factors, each of which needs to be considered in determining the most appropriate teaching strategies.
Research suggests that the cltural and social background has a significant impact on the way students learn mathematics. These differences need to be
recognised and a variety of teaching strategies to be employed so that all students have equal access to the development of mathematical knowledge and
skills.

or C
F
Learning can occur within a large group where the class is taught as a whole and also within a small gruop where students interact with other members
of the group, or at an individual level where a student interacts with the teacher or another student, or works independently. All arrangements have their
place in the mathematics classroom.

65
9.0 SCHOOL POLICY AND PROGRAMMES
To make learning of Mathematics meaningful and relevant to the students classroom work ought not to be based purely on the development of
knowledge and skills but also should encompass areas like communication, connection, reasoning and problem solving. The latter four aims, ensure the
enhancement of the thinking and behavioural process of childern.

in the learning process.

It is the responsibility of the mathematics teacher to organise the above activities according to the facilities available. When organising these activities the
teacher and the students can obtain the assistance of relevant outside persons and institution.

In order to organise such activites on a regular basis it is essential that each school develops a policy of its own in respect of Mathematics. This would
form a part of the overall school policy to be developed by each school. In developin the policy, in respect of Mathematics, the school should take
cognisance of the physical environment of the school and neighbourhood, the needs and concerns of the students and the community associated with the
school and the services of resource personnel and institutions to which the school has access.
