The junior secondary mathematics syllabus typically covers a wide range of topics including:
- Number and numeration: understanding and working with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratios
- Algebra: solving equations, simplifying expressions, and understanding patterns and relationships
- Geometry: exploring shapes, angles, area, perimeter, and volume
- Measurement: converting units, understanding time, distance, and weight
- Data handling: collecting, organizing, and interpreting data using graphs and charts
- Probability: understanding chance and likelihood of events occurring
The syllabus may also include topics such as problem-solving strategies, mathematical reasoning, and real-world applications of mathematics. Students are expected to develop their critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and mathematical fluency through a combination of theoretical learning and practical exercises.
