TEACHING SYLLABUS FOR CORE MATHEMATICS
(SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL)

RATIONALE FOR TEACHING MATHEMATICS
Development in almost all areas of life is based on effective knowledge of science and mathematics. There simply cannot be any meaningful development in virtually any area of life without knowledge of science and mathematics. It is for this reason that the education systems of countries that are concerned about their development put great deal of emphases on the study of mathematics.

The student is expected at the SHS level to develop the required mathematical competence to be able to use his/her knowledge in solving real life problems and secondly, be well equipped to enter into further study and associated vocations in mathematics, science, commerce, industry and a variety of other professions.

GENERAL AIMS
To meet the demands expressed in the rationale, the SHS Core Mathematics syllabus is designed to help the student to:

1. Develop the skills of selecting and applying criteria for classification and generalization.

2. Communicate effectively using mathematical terms, symbols and explanations through logical reasoning.

3. Use mathematics in daily life by recognizing and applying appropriate mathematical problem-solving strategies.

4. Understand the process of measurement and use appropriate measuring instruments.

5. Develop the ability and willingness to perform investigations using various mathematical ideas and operations.

6. Work co-operatively with other students in carrying out activities and projects in mathematics.

7. Develop the values and personal qualities of diligence, perseverance, confidence, patriotism and tolerance through the study of mathematics

8. Use the calculator and the computer for problem solving and investigations of real life situations

9. Develop interest in studying mathematics to a higher level in preparation for professions and careers in science, technology, commerce, industry

and a variety of work areas.

RATIONALE FOR TEACHING ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Language is the very essence of our humanity and an important as well as effective tool for socialization. As individuals or members of a social group, our ability to function effectively and efficiently in almost all spheres of life depends fundamentally on our language skills.

The Senior High School is the second level of education in Ghana. At this stage, students would have been introduced to the basic language skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing. These skills must be improved considerably to give students the confidence as they communicate in the language.

RATIONALE FOR TEACHING INTEGRATED SCIENCE
We are confronted daily with situations that require us to use scientific information to make informed choices and decisions at every turn. Modern life also requires general scientific literacy for every Ghanaian citizen. This is the only way by which the country can create a scientific culture toward achieving the country‟s strategic programme of scientific and technological literacy in the shortest possible time.

Our humanistic past has been valuable but cannot help much to usher the country into the age of science, invention and rapid economic development. Education in science also provides excellent opportunities for the development of positive attitudes and values in our youth. These include:

🔲Curiosity to explore their environment and question what they find

🔲Keenness to identify and answer questions through scientific investigations

🔲Creativity in suggesting new and relevant ways to solve problems

🔲Open-mindedness to accept all knowledge as tentative and to change their view if the evidence is convincing

🔲Perseverance and patience in pursuing a problem until a satisfying solution is found

🔲Concern for living things and awareness of their responsibility toward maintaining the quality of the environment
