foundation requires a balance between knowledge, understanding, and skills to enable students to
become effective learners to continue their educational journey.

B. Assessment Objectives
Candidates should be able to:

• Recognize the appropriate mathematical procedures for a given situation
• Perform calculations by suitable methods without a calculator
• Understand systems of measurement in everyday use and make use of them in the solution of
  Problems
• Estimate, approximate and work to degrees of accuracy appropriate to the context and convert
  between equivalent numerical forms
• Organize, interpret, and present information accurately in written, tabular, graphical and
  diagrammatic forms
• Use mathematical instruments to measure and to draw figures in a given situation
• Interpret, transform, and make appropriate use of mathematical statements expressed in words or
  symbols
• Recall, apply and interpret mathematical knowledge in the context of everyday situations.
• Analyze a problem, select a suitable strategy, and apply an appropriate technique to obtain its solution
• Apply combinations of mathematical skills and techniques in problem-solving
• Study and draw graphs and infer results
  
• C. Syllabus:
