This document provides the mathematics curriculum for grades P4, P5, and P6 in Rwandan primary education. It was published by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Rwanda. The curriculum aims to teach students logic, reasoning, and skills to solve everyday problems using mathematics. It emphasizes teaching all math concepts holistically and applying skills to real-world exercises. The P4 curriculum focuses on numeration, operations with whole numbers up to 100,000, decimals up to 3 decimal places, fractions, and solving word problems involving the four basic operations. Teaching methods emphasize hands-on learning, partner work, and relating math to students' lives.

MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM FOR UPPER PRIMARY EDUCATION (P4, P5, P6)

Kigali, July 2005.

1
I. INTRODUCTION

Mathematics is one of the disciplines which give a learner logic reasoning and coherent thinking and enable him or her to follow other
subjects effectively. Mathematics is also a tool of learning other disciplines at primary level (e.g. STE., Geography,…. )

II .GENERAL ORIENTATION

A holistic approach for the teaching of Mathematics in primary education is highly recommended. In other words, all the branches that are
supposed to be taught (arithmetic, metric system, geometry, algebra, graphics and their interpretations) cannot be separated.
As such they can not appear, separately on the school timetable. The teaching of Mathematics will be so useful, to the extent that, it will
expose the learner to a lot of exercises which will make them acquire the basic, simple notions/knowledge of Mathematics.
Pupils will be encouraged to participate in all activities so as to get used to the principles and the language of mathematics.

III. GENERAL OBJECTIVES

1) Apply the acquired knowledge to solving mathematics problems


2) Solve everyday problems that need quick application of simple mathematical principles
3) Exploit the acquired mathematics applications so as to use them later in the pupils’ future training.

V. EVALUATION APPROACH

During the lesson the teacher prepares the questions to ask pupils, these can be oral or written questions.
This allows the teacher to verify, if the pupils are attentive, if the lesson is appropriate, and if the teaching methods used are effective. After
verification the teacher, can take appropriate measures, to achieve his objective.

During this verification the teacher, should not reject automatically, the false answers, given by the pupils; he/she should try to guide the
answer in a better direction. The evaluation exercises should be carried out at different levels.

The teacher should also evaluate the pupils through written tests, after one or two weeks, through end of term, and end of year
examinations.

The teacher will always bear in mind, that the evaluation approach, should focus on verifying, how the acquired knowledge, in all the
different branches of mathematics, can be put together, in the solving of similar problems, in the every day life of the pupil.

During the correction of the exercises, of tests or examinations, the teacher will take care of all the pupils, but he/she, should give
particular attention to weaker pupils.

Leaving alone the home works, there should be assignments done in class, under the guidance of the teacher; this allows the teacher to
check on how the pupils participate during their training.

64
VI. PARTICULAR FACTORS

During the second cycle, the learner meets a number of problems, such as abrupt changes of certain writings, or numbering especially on
the units of measurement. Hence, for a example j4 will become 4j, F50 will become 50F. The teacher will have to explain to the pupils,
why those changes, and make them get used to those new writings.

The teacher will not only depend on the school book at hand, but will also try to expand his/her documentation. His/her teaching should
also take into consideration such fields as cognitive, emotional, and psycho- motor

One should not put full stops, commas, to distinguish the classes, in the writing of whole numbers. Spacing should be enough, to determine
the classes.(Ex.: 1.584.000 will be 1 584 000)

For decimal numbers, the part that is whole will be separated from the decimal part by a comma (Example: 11,545)

Terms like weight, net weight, gross weight, having been replaced respectively by mass, and net mass and gross mass, and should also
change their symbols. Hence we shall have the following symbols: mass (m), net mass (NM) gross mass (GM). One should also note that
the formula for finding the density will also have to change.
