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.

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.
