Maths
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, 2075. 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.
2. Level-wise Competencies
On completion of this course, students will have the following competencies:
1. apply numerical methods to solve algebraic equation and calculate definite integrals and
use simplex method to solve linear programming problems (LPP).
2. use principles of elementary logic to find the validity of statement.
3. make connections and present the relationships between abstract algebraic structures with
familiar number systems such as the integers and real numbers.
4. use basic properties of elementary functions and their inverse including linear, quadratic,
reciprocal, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, logarithm, sine, cosine and
tangent functions.
5. identify and derive equations or graphs for lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, and
hyperbolas,
6. use relative motion, Newton’s laws of motion in solving related problems.
