Secondary Education Curriculum 2076
Mathematics
Grades: 11 and 12 Subject code: Mat. 401 (Grade 11), Mat. 402 (Grade 12)
Credit hrs: 5 Working hrs: 160
1. Introduction
Mathematics is an indispensable in many fields. It is essential in
the field of engineering, medicine,
natural sciences, finance and other social sciences. The branch of mathematics concerned with application of mathematical
knowledge to other fields and inspires new mathematical discoveries. The new
discoveries in mathematics led to the development of entirely new mathematical
disciplines. School mathematics is necessary as the backbone for higher study in different disciplines. Mathematics curriculum at secondary level is the extension of mathematics
curriculum offered in lower grades (1 to 10).
This course of Mathematics is designed for grade 11 and 12 students
as an optional subject as per the curriculum structure
prescribed by the National
Curriculum Framework, 2076. This course
will be delivered using both the conceptual and theoretical inputs
through demonstration and presentation, discussion, and group works as well as
practical and project works in the real world context. Calculation strategies
and problem solving skills will be an integral part of the delivery.
This course includes different contents like; Algebra, Trigonometry,
Analytic Geometry, Vectors, Statistics and Probability, Calculus, Computational
Methods and Mechanics or Mathematics for Economics and Finance.
Student’s content knowledge in different sectors of mathematics with
higher understanding is possible only with appropriate pedagogical skills of
their teachers. So, classroom teaching
must be based on student-centered approaches like project work, problem solving
etc.

Learning Facilitation Method and Process
Teacher has to emphasis on the active learning process and on the
creative solution of the exercise included in the textbook rather than teacher
centered method while teaching mathematics. Students need to be
encouraged to use the skills and knowledge related to maths in their house,
neighborhood, school and daily activities. Teacher has to analyze and diagnose
the weakness of the students and
create appropriate learning environment to solve mathematical problems in the
process of teaching learning.
The emphasis should be given to use diverse methods and techniques
for learning facilitation. However, the focus should be given to those method
and techniques that promote students' active participation in the learning
process. The following are some of the teaching methods that can be used to
develop mathematical competencies of the students:
· Inductive and deductive method
· Problem solving
method
· Case study
· Project work
method
·
Question answer and discussion method
·
Discovery method/ use of ICT
· Co-operative learning
7.
Student Assessment
Evaluation is an integral part of learning process. Both formative
and summative evaluation system will be used to evaluate the learning of
the students. Students should be evaluated to assess the learning achievements
of the students. There are two basic purposes of evaluating students in
Mathematics: first, to provide regular feedback to the students and bringing
improvement in student learning-the formative purpose; and second, to identify
student's learning levels for decision making.
a.
Internal Examination/Assessment
i.
Project Work: Each Student should
do one project work from each of eight content
areas and has to give a 15 minute presentation for each project work in
classroom. These eight project works will be documented in a file and will be
submitted at the time of final examination. Out of eight projects, any one
should be presented at the time of final examination by each student.
ii.
Mathematical
activity: Mathematical activities
mean various activities in which students
willingly and purposefully work on Mathematics. Mathematical activities can
include various activities like (i) Hands-on activities (ii) Experimental
