INTRODUCTION
This syllabus for Further Mathematics is a statement of a defined coursework to educate young Cameroonians in the Second Cycle (sixth and
seventh year) of Secondary General Education. At the end of upper sixth, students are well equipped to sit in for the General Certificate of
Education (GCE) Advanced level and any other examination requiring knowledge and skills at this level. The topics are grouped into modules.
While it is convenient to break them down into these smaller manageable units, it is important to remember that they do not stand in isolation
from one another.
This syllabus is elaborated using the Competency – Based – Approach from a situated perspective (through real life situations and the
promotion of mathematical thinking and problem solving skills). It is only in a situation that a person develops his/her competence. It is only by
dealing effectively with this situation that a person can be declared competent. With this approach, Mathematical knowledge and skills learned
in the classroom are made functional (act as tools (resources)), to solve problems in other related subjects and in real life situations. This
syllabus therefore emphasizes application of Mathematics to real life situations, a practical approach to teaching and learning, a broad based
critical mathematical thinking and problem solving skills. The course has been designed to enable the learner to acquire attitudes, knowledge
and skills which will be relevant to his/her life after school as well as lay a solid foundation for further studies in mathematics and other related
fields that require mathematics at the tertiary level.
This syllabus for the second cycle, also has a double goal which is:
 The intellectual training of the learner to progressively develop abilities for experimentation, creativity and critical analysis so as to
be able to take up fully, his role as a citizen.
 The second goal is utilitarian; here it envisages the adaptation of scientific knowledge to international, economic and
environmental context.
OUTCOMES OR PROFILES OF THE LEARNER

At the end of the second cycle, the learner who has successfully gone through this content should among others be able to use Mathematics
with confidence to solve real life problems within the different domains of life, communicate concisely and unambiguously and develop the
power of mathematical reasoning (logical thinking, accuracy and spatial awareness). To be more specific they have to:
 Recognise, identify, write, communicate and use numbers in various ways;
 Use different operations to calculate values within different life situations;
 Extract, translate and use Mathematical information from tables, charts, graphs, diagrams, coded figures, or from any document and
from the environment;
 Recognize, identify, describe and make geometrical shapes /forms, develop skills and accuracy as well as have confidence in the use
of instruments for measuring and drawing and the ability to visualize 3-dimensional figures;
 Acquire the methods and knowledge to understand and master the functioning of technical objects made by man to satisfy his needs;
 Meet up with the challenges of life through the use of scientific methods in solving real life problems;
 Appreciate the beauty of nature.
The Further Mathematics teaching syllabus for the second cycle is designed so that teaching/learning at this level will continue to develop in
learners the three fundamental competencies which are:
 Solve a problem within a situation (solve problems encountered within real life situations, promote mathematical thinking and problem
solving skills) so as to fully and autonomously assume one’s role as a citizen as well as confidently engage in further studies in
mathematics and other related fields at the tertiary level;
 Display a logical reasoning (show a coherent logical reasoning, spirit of curiosity, spirit of critical thinking and initiative);
 Communicate using Mathematical language (communicate in an intelligent, clear and concise language orally or written).
These three competencies are developed progressively at all stages of Secondary Education through some real life activities.
The cognitive levels for second cycle are knowledge, comprehension, application and analysis/evaluation.

THE PLACE OF MATHEMATICS IN THE CURRICULUM AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE LEARNING AREAS.
Mathematics, offers different models and structures that constitute the framework of service tools in the Sciences and Technology learning
area as well as in other learning areas through its own language. Mathematics in itself, contributes to the development of rigorous and logical
reasoning, spirit of creativity and critical thinking. All these contribute to create, manage and exploit learning situations which help us to
understand and master nature and laws of nature. Mathematics is at the root of all technological evolution of today’s world and as such, it
contributes significantly towards the modification of our environment, our life style and our thinking process. Mathematical concepts form the
bases of the evolution of the computer that has considerably improved our work habits and communication.
DOMAINS OF LIFE AND CONTRIBUTION OF SYLLABUS TO DOMAINS OF LIFE:
Teaching/learning procedures are constructed within five domains of life which are: Family and social life, Economic life; the environment,
well- being and health; Media and communication and Citizenship. Mathematical skills help in developing competencies in commercial
transactions, games, planning expenditure, energy consumption, decision making, environmental protection, health, politics etc. As earlier
mentioned, Mathematics is at the root of all technological evolution of today’s world as it contributes significantly towards the modification of
our environment, our life style and our thinking processes. Some application of Mathematics can be seen in business, trades, politics,
census, family planning, arts and music etc. Thus, be it in the domain of family and social life, economic life, the environment, well-being and
health, media and communication and even citizenship, Mathematics plays a significant role.
FAMILIES OF SITUATIONS COVERED IN THIS PROGRAM OF STUDY
A family of situations refers to a group of life situations that share at least a common property.
For these years of secondary education, five families of situations have been identified which are:
 Representation, determination of quantities and identification of objects by numbers;
 Organization of information, estimation of quantities and making choices in the consumption of goods and services;
 Representations and transformations of points and plane shapes within the environment;
 Usage of technical objects in everyday life;
 Description of patterns and relationships between quantities and ideas using symbols.
These five families of situations expose the learners to experience all possible daily life activities at this level such as Commercial
transactions, games, planning expenditure, energy consumption, just to name a few. These are the areas to develop the envisaged
competencies. The different modules for this level are:

PRESENTATION OF MODULES.
Each module has two main parts: the introduction of the module and the table.
The introduction has the presentation of the module; the contribution of the module to outcome and curriculum goals, contribution
of module to learning area and contribution of module to areas of living.
The table on the other hand, is made up of three main columns which are subdivided into eight columns:
o The contextual framework embodies the families of situations and some examples of real life situations where the knowledge
and skills (competencies) can be applied. Teachers are expected to come out with more real life situations within their
environment.
o The Competencies (competent actions) is divided into categories of actions and examples of actions: These are groups of
some actions which are related to the mastery of the competencies expected for the module.
o The Resources have the essential or core knowledge which give all the set of cognitive and affective resources which the
learner needs to mobilise to successfully treat a family of situations. It is divided into four components: the mathematical
notions, the skills or know-how, attitudes to be disposed or to be acquired as well as other resources (material) necessary for
the acquisition of these competencies.
Planning of Teaching/Learning and Evaluation
In Cameroon, the academic (school) year is subdivided into three terms of twelve (12) weeks each. Teaching/Learning and Evaluation take
place after every six weeks and comprises Learning of Resources, Integration Learning and Remediation, followed by summative Evaluation.
In each of the three stages of the Teaching/Learning process, formative evaluation is involved.
The diagram below is an example of how Teaching/Learning and evaluation can be planned over a period of one school year.
The first four weeks could be consecrated to the teaching/learning of resources (knowledge and know-how), interspersed by formative
evaluation. That is, during this period of teaching/learning, we ought to develop oral questions, written application exercises for practice,
homework, which may or may not be scored.
The fifth week could be consecrated to the integration of learning activities, which can take the form of tutorials accompanied by appropriate
remedial actions. This should be after a set of lessons that constitutes one or more topics or a significant part of a topic.
The sixth week could be consecrated to remediation or revision to surmount possible difficulties or misunderstanding of learners, followed by
graded evaluation of resources and competencies and then retake the procedure for the next six weeks of the term. It should be noted that
this evaluation at the end of the sixth week should be essentially formative in nature, which implies that it should also be used to diagnose the
lapses in learning with the view of providing appropriate remediation.
PEDAGOGIC ORIENTATIONS.
a. Recommended Methodology:
The Competency–Based–Approach is based on the Socio-Constructivist view of learning which postulates that learners actively
construct new learning onto old learning through an action in a given situation. In this light, the Mathematics lesson should have
teaching/ learning activities and the teaching method centered on the learner. Each teaching/learning sequence or lesson should
include:
o An introduction with motivation that will captivate and sustain the interest of the learners ;
o A problem situation that provokes critical thinking in the quest of a solution to the problem.
o Learning activity(ies) that will facilitate the acquisition of new knowledge and new skills. An activity that will consolidate old
knowledge with new knowledge;
o The essential knowledge is given as notions or methods;
o Application exercises;
b. Integration activities whenever it is possible should be well planned so as to allow students to mobilise many skills learned to
competently solve a real life problem. These integration activities are aimed at making the students to employ and use the learned
mathematical skills necessary to competently handle life situations related to the family of situations for the module.
c. Evaluation.
In order to determine the learner’s progress in the learning process, the teacher must regularly carry out assessment of learning.
Knowledge and skills are evaluated as with objective based while the criterion referenced assessment is used to evaluate
development of competencies. At the end of Upper Sixth, students will sit in and write the General Certificate of Education examination,
Advanced level, in Further Mathematics and any other examinations at this level. The nature and structure of the examination will be defined
by the Cameroon General Certificate of Education (CGCE) Board.
d. Notations and symbols
Teachers should teach for accuracy and should at each time ensure that students use notations and symbols encountered at this
level, accurately. No misuse of words, notations and symbols by learners should be tolerated.
The teacher uses and introduces whenever necessary, the corresponding symbol for each set of numbers such as ℕ, ℤ, ℚ,
ℝ, and ℂ.
e. Calculators
A calculator is a tool that is now very common among students. It fascinates and exercises an attraction that no other instrument
seems to have had. Students use it even for the simplest operations. It is only a tool, and, is no substitute for the knowledge of its
user. It is for the teacher to take note of this and encourage or discourage its use, as the case may be. The learners are expected to

and tangent and their inverses in radians, degrees and in decimals of a degree.
Some symbols and notations.
Learners will meet and use among others, the following symbols and notations:

Module 1: ALGEBRA I
General Introduction
Algebra focuses on describing patterns and relationships between variables through the use of symbolic
expressions, graphs and tables. There are three categories of action namely: interpretation of algebraic
models, determination of quantities from algebraic models and representation of quantities and relationships.
Algebra is the language for investigating and communicating most of mathematics, science and technological
works. Formulas are highly used in natural science. Learners will achieve efficient manipulative skills in the
use of algebra, and a thorough understanding of these is essential for understanding any field of mathematics,
science and technology in general.
Contribution of module to areas of living
The areas of living where this module is employed are: Media and communication such as data storage and
manipulation in stock control, technology such as the use of prime numbers in cryptography, use of power
factorization techniques on internet and bank security.

The teaching/learning are constructed within five domains of life which are: Family and social life, Economic life; the environment, well- being
and health; Media and communication and Citizenship. Mathematical skills help in developing competencies in commercial transactions,
games, planning expenditure, energy consumption, decision making, environmental protection, health, politics etc. As earlier mentioned,
Mathematics is at the root of all technological evolution of today’s world as it contributes significantly towards the modification of our
environment, our life style and our thinking process. Some application of Mathematics can be seen in business, trades, politics, census,
family planning, arts and music etc. Thus, be it in the domain of family and social life, economic life, the environment, well-being and health,
media and communication and even citizenship, Mathematics plays a significant role.

PURE MATHEMATICS WITH MECHANICS TEACHING SYLLABUS FOR LOWER SIXTH
MODULE 1: ALGEBRA AND LOGIC.

CREDIT: 105 hours / 9 periods of 50 minutes each per week
GENERAL PRESENTATION
Algebra focuses on describing patterns and relationships between variables through the use of symbolic expressions, graphs and
tables. This module is the extension of basic algebra and starts here with transposition of formulae then to introducing relations
and functions. Functions, relations, equations, inequalities, systems of equations and graphs are examples of models. This
module is made up of the families of situations: Describing patterns and relationships between quantities using symbols.
There are three categories of action namely: Interpretation of algebraic models; determination of quantities from algebraic models;
representation of quantities and relationships.
CONTRIBUTION OF MODULE TO OUTCOME AND CURRICULUM GOALS

The mastery of this module will help the learner to solve problems using algebraic language and skills and also to examine and
study relationships between real life situations. Through the use of symbolic expressions, graphs and tables, learners will be able
to recognize, describe and represent patterns and relationship as well as translate real life problems into different forms of
equations to enable the solution to the problem. Logic being Mathematical reasoning will help learners develop the skill of logical
reasoning (deductive and inductive), spirit of critical thinking for proper decision taking.
CONTRIBUTION OF MODULE TO LEARNING AREA

Algebra is the language for investigating and communicating most of Mathematics, sciences and technological work. Formulae
are highly used in physical sciences (calculating air pressure, resistance, voltage), and in economic growth such as calculating
pension for those on retirement etc. Learners will achieve efficient manipulative skills in the use of algebra, and a thorough
understanding of these is essential for understanding any field of mathematics and many technical areas where mathematics is
applied. This module is a foundation for more advanced mathematics, science and technology in general.
CONTRIBUTION OF MODULE TO AREAS OF LIVING
The areas of living where this module is employed are: Family and Social life, Economic life, Environment, Welfare and health;
Citizenship, Media and Communication. Learners develop the competences of translating phrases and sentences in real life into
variable expressions and equations to find solutions. They will use algebraic language and skills to describe patterns and
relationships in a way that builds awareness of other learning areas as well as issues related to human rights, social economic
and cultural life, political and environmental issues. Many real-world phenomena can be modeled by relations such as: the time a
satellite takes to complete a revolution around the earth in terms of its speed and altitude; with finances to find simple interest (𝐼)
earned on an investment (𝑃) after a period of time (𝑡) at a rate (𝑟), is given as 𝐼 = 𝑃𝑡𝑟. Therefore, in other subject areas, as well
as in real life, connections are made between algebraic representations and the problem situations so as to provide better
understanding about Mathematical concepts and the different problem situations. Learners will be able to manipulate graphs in
media to represent trends and pattern, represent relationships within an ecosystem, exploit and design geometrical patterns in art
and architecture and appreciate symmetrical patterns that occur in nature.

MODULE 2: NUMBERS, FUNDAMENTAL OPERATIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS IN THE SETS OF NUMBERS AND
BETWEEN ELEMENTS OF A SET.
CREDIT: 65hrs / 9 periods of 50minutes each per week
PRESENTATION OF MODULE
This module is aimed at making the learner competent within the families of situations ‘Representation, determination of
quantities and identification of objects by numbers’. It has the following as categories of action: Determination of a number,
reading and writing information using numbers, verbal interaction on information containing numbers and estimation and
treatment of quantities.
This module will permit the learner to apply all what was acquired in first cycle under numbers and sets of numbers and extend it
to evaluate measures involving large numbers arising in branches of science, recognize and represent these large numbers using
indices.
This module is introduced by indices and logarithms, then sets of numbers (ℕ, ℤ, ℚ, ℝ and ℂ), set theory and ends with
arrangement of information into rectangular arrays called matrices. In this module learners get to discover very exciting number
patterns and properties.
This module contributes to a good mental structure that will permit the learner to react competently in different life situations as
well as be able to communicate concisely and precisely using numbers. Learners will be able to recognize, describe and
represent numbers and their relationships and to count, estimate, calculate and check with competence and confidence in solving
problems. Translate set language into ordinary English and vice versa, describe and extend patterns to solving problems.
The mastery of this module equips the learner with basic knowledge and skills (know -how) on which further learning in
Mathematics and the pure sciences will be based. It will also equip learners with basic know-how needed in other school subjects
such as the human sciences, commercial education etc. Indices, logarithms and their graphs for example, are used in other
subjects such as calculation of growth rate of seedlings or bacteria in biology, population growth in geography, pH of a solution in
chemistry, rate of decay with radioactive substances in Physics etc. Matrices are used in treating networks and eventually for the
solution of simultaneous equations.
This module provides the opportunities for the learners to represent very large numbers in index form thus gaining time and space
and also for easy understanding or appreciation of its value. Graphs of logarithmic and/or exponential functions are used for
economic applications such as simple and compound interest, annuities etc. Record inventory or data in matrix form will help for
easy calculation of stock. The learner with a good sense of number and operations with numbers has the mathematical
confidence to make sense and meaning in various contexts. These knowledge and skills will contribute in the management of
family finances; implication in different monetary transactions, etc justifies its importance in consumption and production of goods
and services, social, economic and environmental issues,

MODULE 3: PLANE GEOMETRY.
All what was done from points, lines, plane figures, angles, metric system form basic knowledge and skills necessary to continue
this module on geometry. This module is within the families of situations: Representations and transformation of plane shapes
within the environment. Three categories of actions are involved namely: Perception of the physical environment, production of
plane shapes and transformation of the physical environment and determination of measures.

This module will help learners to understand the conditions for congruency in plane figures and similarity in plane figures. It will
continue to improve upon learners’ understanding and appreciation of pattern, precision and beauty in natural and cultural forms.
Learners will also develop the ability to visualize, measure, represent, describe and compare plane figures in the environment,
use vector methods to solve problems and associate vectors to people and things in motion, use sine, cosine or tangent in right-
angled triangles to determine distances. In addition, learners will develop the sense of order, rigour in working, ability to represent,
accuracy and sense of precision and initiation to scientific method in handling life situations. The ability to construct will help
learners to be able to represent and interpret the physical environment and also be able to investigate and model situations in the
environment. As a result, they will be able to make sensible estimates, verify results, measure accurately, locate positions in real
life as well as be alert to the reasonableness of measurements and calculation results.
Critical thinking, creativity and sense of initiative that learners will also develop are attitudes that will contribute to make a citizen
autonomous and responsible in carrying out his social roles.

Plane geometry is one of the main parts of the Mathematics syllabus in line with the expected learning outcome. Measuring in
general relates directly to the scientific, technological and economic world of the learner. Accurate measuring and calculations
involving lengths, angles and areas, representations and descriptions are an integral part of chemistry, Biology, Physics and other
parts of Mathematics. Situations of congruency and similarity are seen in Biology, Chemistry and also in the cultural environment
of the learners. The learning of plane geometry provides the basic knowledge and skills needed to study 3-dimensional geometry.
The third category of actions shows interaction between numerical activities and geometrical activities.
The study of the module enables the learners to:
 Develop the ability to visualize, reason and justify,

 Interpret, understand, classify, appreciate and describe the world through 3-dimensional shapes, their locations, movement
and relationships.
By these, they should be able for example to use national flags to demonstrate transformations and symmetry in designs;
investigate and recognize the geometrical properties and patterns existing in traditional and modern architecture; use maps in
geography as specific forms of grid and also investigate geometric patterns in art.
The areas of living for which knowledge and skills from this module are directly applied are: Family and social life, Economic life,
Environment, welfare and health, citizenship, media and communication. Each learner uses or comes across objects from which
geometrical shapes can be identified. The outline of figures which are the lines, angles, planes and their intersections are what
constitute the physical environment for they are the bases for which real life subjects are constructed.
The study of size, distances, and position of objects in the environment is important since it will provide a language for describing
and representing the physical environment and methods for analyzing and drawing conclusions about real life phenomena.
Symmetry contributes in the study of the rules and principles of art and the appreciation of the beauty and taste.

The teaching/learning are constructed within five domains of life which are: Family and social life, Economic life; the environment, well- being
and health; Media and communication and Citizenship. Mathematical skills help in developing competencies in commercial transactions,
games, planning expenditure, energy consumption, decision making, environmental protection, health, politics etc. As earlier mentioned,
Mathematics is at the root of all technological evolution of today’s world as it contributes significantly towards the modification of our
environment, our life style and our thinking process. Some application of Mathematics can be seen in business, trades, politics, census,
family planning, arts and music etc. Thus, be it in the domain of family and social life, economic life, the environment, well-being and health,
media and communication and even citizenship, Mathematics plays a significant role.

o The contextual framework embodies the families of situations and some examples of real life situations where the knowledge and skills
(competencies) can be applied. Teachers are expected to come out with more real life situations within their environment.
o The Competencies (competent actions) is divided into categories of actions and examples of actions: These are groups of some actions
which are related to the mastery of the competencies expected for the module.
o The Resources have the essential or core knowledge which give all the set of cognitive and affective resources which the learner needs to
mobilise to successfully treat a family of situations. It is divided into four components: the mathematical notions, the skills or know-how,
attitudes to be disposed or to be acquired as well as other resources (material) necessary for the acquisition of these competencies.

PURE MATHEMATICS WITH STATISTICS TEACHING SYLLABUS FOR LOWER SIXTH
MODULE 1: ALGEBRA AND LOGIC.
CREDIT: 105 hours / 9 periods of 50 minutes each per week
Algebra focuses on describing patterns and relationships between variables through the use of symbolic expressions, graphs and
tables. This module is the extension of basic algebra and starts here with transposition of formulae then to introducing relations
and functions. Functions, relations, equations, inequalities, systems of equations and graphs are examples of models. This
module is made up of the families of situations: Describing patterns and relationships between quantities using symbols.
There are three categories of action namely: Interpretation of algebraic models; determination of quantities from algebraic models;
representation of quantities and relationships.

The mastery of this module will help the learner to solve problems using algebraic language and skills and also to examine and
study relationships between real life situations. Through the use of symbolic expressions, graphs and tables, learners will be able
to recognize, describe and represent patterns and relationship as well as translate real life problems into different forms of
equations to enable the solution to the problem. Logic being Mathematical reasoning will help learners develop the skill of logical
reasoning (deductive and inductive), spirit of critical thinking for proper decision taking.

Algebra is the language for investigating and communicating most of Mathematics, sciences and technological work. Formulae
are highly used in physical sciences (calculating air pressure, resistance, voltage), and in economic growth such as calculating
pension for those on retirement etc. Learners will achieve efficient manipulative skills in the use of algebra, and a thorough
understanding of these is essential for understanding any field of mathematics and many technical areas where mathematics is
applied. This module is a foundation for more advanced mathematics, science and technology in general.

The areas of living where this module is employed are: Family and Social life, Economic life, Environment, Welfare and health;
Citizenship, Media and Communication. Learners develop the competences of translating phrases and sentences in real life into
variable expressions and equations to find solutions. They will use algebraic language and skills to describe patterns and
relationships in a way that builds awareness of other learning areas as well as issues related to human rights, social economic
and cultural life, political and environmental issues. Many real-world phenomena can be modeled by relations such as: the time a
satellite takes to complete a revolution around the earth in terms of its speed and altitude; with finances to find simple interest (𝐼)
earned on an investment (𝑃) after a period of time (𝑡) at a rate (𝑟), is given as 𝐼 = 𝑃𝑡𝑟. Therefore, in other subject areas, as well
as in real life, connections are made between algebraic representations and the problem situations so as to provide better
understanding about Mathematical concepts and the different problem situations. Learners will be able to manipulate graphs in
media to represent trends and pattern, represent relationships within an ecosystem, exploit and design geometrical patterns in art
and architecture and appreciate symmetrical patterns that occur in nature.

MODULE 2: NUMBERS, FUNDAMENTAL OPERATIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS IN THE SETS OF NUMBERS AND
BETWEEN ELEMENTS OF A SET.
PRESENTATION OF MODULE
This module is aimed at making the learner competent within the families of situations ‘Representation, determination of
quantities and identification of objects by numbers’. It has the following as categories of action: Determination of a number,
reading and writing information using numbers, verbal interaction on information containing numbers and estimation and
treatment of quantities.
This module will permit the learner to apply all what was acquired in first cycle under numbers and sets of numbers and extend it
to evaluate measures involving large numbers arising in branches of science, recognize and represent these large numbers using
indices.
This module is introduced by indices and logarithms, then sets of numbers (ℕ, ℤ, ℚ, ℝ and ℂ), set theory and ends with
arrangement of information into rectangular arrays called matrices. In this module learners get to discover very exciting number
patterns and properties.
This module contributes to a good mental structure that will permit the learner to react competently in different life situations as
well as be able to communicate concisely and precisely using numbers. Learners will be able to recognize, describe and
represent numbers and their relationships and to count, estimate, calculate and check with competence and confidence in solving
problems. Translate set language into ordinary English and vice versa, describe and extend patterns to solving problems.
The mastery of this module equips the learner with basic knowledge and skills (know -how) on which further learning in
Mathematics and the pure sciences will be based. It will also equip learners with basic know-how needed in other school subjects
such as the human sciences, commercial education etc. Indices, logarithms and their graphs for example, are used in other
subjects such as calculation of growth rate of seedlings or bacteria in biology, population growth in geography, pH of a solution in
chemistry, rate of decay with radioactive substances in Physics etc. Matrices are used in treating networks and eventually for the
solution of simultaneous equations.
This module provides the opportunities for the learners to represent very large numbers in index form thus gaining time and space
and also for easy understanding or appreciation of its value. Graphs of logarithmic and/or exponential functions are used for
economic applications such as simple and compound interest, annuities etc. Record inventory or data in matrix form will help for
easy calculation of stock. The learner with a good sense of number and operations with numbers has the mathematical
confidence to make sense and meaning in various contexts. These knowledge and skills will contribute in the management of
family finances; implication in different monetary transactions, etc justifies its importance in consumption and production of goods
and services, social, economic and environmental issues,

MODULE 3: PLANE GEOMETRY.
All what was done from points, lines, plane figures, angles, metric system form basic knowledge and skills necessary to continue
this module on geometry. This module is within the families of situations: Representations and transformation of plane shapes
within the environment. Three categories of actions are involved namely: Perception of the physical environment, production of
plane shapes and transformation of the physical environment and determination of measures.

This module will help learners to understand the conditions for congruency in plane figures and similarity in plane figures. It will
continue to improve upon learners’ understanding and appreciation of pattern, precision and beauty in natural and cultural forms.
Learners will also develop the ability to visualize, measure, represent, describe and compare plane figures in the environment,
use vector methods to solve problems and associate vectors to people and things in motion, use sine, cosine or tangent in right-
angled triangles to determine distances. In addition, learners will develop the sense of order, rigour in working, ability to represent,
accuracy and sense of precision and initiation to scientific method in handling life situations. The ability to construct will help
learners to be able to represent and interpret the physical environment and also be able to investigate and model situations in the
environment. As a result, they will be able to make sensible estimates, verify results, measure accurately, locate positions in real
life as well as be alert to the reasonableness of measurements and calculation results.
Critical thinking, creativity and sense of initiative that learners will also develop are attitudes that will contribute to make a citizen
autonomous and responsible in carrying out his social roles.

Plane geometry is one of the main parts of the Mathematics syllabus in line with the expected learning outcome. Measuring in
general relates directly to the scientific, technological and economic world of the learner. Accurate measuring and calculations
involving lengths, angles and areas, representations and descriptions are an integral part of chemistry, Biology, Physics and other
parts of Mathematics. Situations of congruency and similarity are seen in Biology, Chemistry and also in the cultural environment
of the learners. The learning of plane geometry provides the basic knowledge and skills needed to study 3-dimensional geometry.
The third category of actions shows interaction between numerical activities and geometrical activities.
The study of the module enables the learners to:
 Develop the ability to visualize, reason and justify,

 Interpret, understand, classify, appreciate and describe the world through 3-dimensional shapes, their locations, movement
and relationships.
By these, they should be able for example to use national flags to demonstrate transformations and symmetry in designs;
investigate and recognize the geometrical properties and patterns existing in traditional and modern architecture; use maps in
geography as specific forms of grid and also investigate geometric patterns in art.
The areas of living for which knowledge and skills from this module are directly applied are: Family and social life, Economic life,
Environment, welfare and health, citizenship, media and communication. Each learner uses or comes across objects from which
geometrical shapes can be identified. The outline of figures which are the lines, angles, planes and their intersections are what
constitute the physical environment for they are the bases for which real life subjects are constructed.
The study of size, distances, and position of objects in the environment is important since it will provide a language for describing
and representing the physical environment and methods for analyzing and drawing conclusions about real life phenomena.
Symmetry contributes in the study of the rules and principles of art and the appreciation of the beauty and taste.
