4. MATHEMATICS (CODE NO. 041) The curriculum at Secondary stage primarily aims at enhancing the capacity of students to employ Mathematics in solving day-to-day life problems and studying the subject as a separate discipline. It is expected that students should acquire the ability to solve problems using algebraic methods and apply the knowledge of simple trigonometry to solve problems of heights and distances. Carrying out experiments with numbers and forms of geometry, framing hypothesis and verifying these with further observations form inherent part of Mathematics learning at this stage. The proposed curriculum includes the study of Arithmetical concepts, number system, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, mensuration, statistics, graphs and coordinate geometry etc. The teaching of Mathematics should be imparted through activities which may involve the use of concrete materials, models, patterns, charts, pictures posters, games, puzzles and experiments. OBJECTIVES The broad objectives of teaching of Mathematics at secondary stage are to help the learners to: consolidate the Mathematical knowledge and skills acquired at the upper primary stage; acquire knowledge and understanding of the terms, symbols, concepts, principles, processes, proofs etc. develop mastery of basic algebraic skills; develop drawing skills; apply mathematical knowledge and skills to solve real life problems by developing abilities to analyze, to see interrelationship involved, to think and reason; develop the ability to articulate logically; develop awareness of the need for national unity, national integration, protection of the environment, observance of small family norms, removal of social barriers, elimination
