Maths

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, 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.

Secondary Education Curriculum, 2076 (Maths) 19


7. articulate personal values of statistics and probability in everyday life.
8. apply derivatives to determine the nature of the function and determine the maxima and
minima of a function and normal increasing and decreasing function into context of daily
life.
9. explain anti-derivatives as an inverse process of derivative and use them in various
situations.
10. use vectors and mechanics in day to day life.
11. develop proficiency in application of mathematics in economics and finance.
3. Grade-wise Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course, the students will be able to:

15. Construct and present Cobweb model and lagged Keynesian macroeconomic model .
6. 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:

Secondary Education Curriculum, 2076 (Maths) 33


 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 seven
project works will be documented in a file and will be submitted at the time of external
examination. Out of eight projects, any one should be presented at the time of external
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 activities (iii)
physical activities. Each student should do one activity from each of eight content area
(altogether seven activities). These activities will be documented in a file and will be
submitted at the time of external examination. Out of eight activities, any one should be
presented at the time of external examination by each student.
iii. Demonstration of Competency in classroom activity: During teaching learning process
in classroom, students demonstrate 10 competencies through activities. The evaluation of
students' performance should be recorded by subject teacher on the following basis.
 Through mathematical activities and presentation of project works.
 Identifying basic and fundamental knowledge and skills.
 Fostering students' ability to think and express with good perspectives and logically
on matters of everyday life.
 Finding pleasure in mathematical activities and appreciate the value of mathematical
approaches.
 Fostering and attitude to willingly make use of mathematics in their lives as well as
in their learning.
iv. Marks from trimester examinations: Marks from each trimester examination will be
converted into full marks 3 and calculated total marks of two trimester in each grade.
The weightage for internal assessment are as follows:

Classroom Project work /Mathematical Demonstration of Marks from Total
participation activity (at least 10 competency in terminal
work/activities from the classroom activity exams
above mentioned project
work/mathematical activities
should be evaluated)

3 10 6 6 25

b. External Examination/Evaluation
External evaluation of the students will be based on the written examination at the end of each
grade. It carries 75 percent of the total weightage. The types and number questions will be as per
the test specification chart developed by the Curriculum Development Centre.
