1.0 PREAMBLE

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Form 5 – 6 Additional Mathematics syllabus builds on the Form 3 - 4 Additional Mathematics syllabus and is designed to cater for the needs of post Form 4, mathematically outstanding learners. The teaching and learning that is based on the syllabus provides further opportunities for such learners to enjoy doing and using mathematics and, in the process developing a deeper appreciation and understanding of the nature of mathematics, its pivotal role in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and life in general and hence promoting sustainable development. The intentionistoprovideafirmbasisonwhichtopursuefurther studies in mathematics and related areas which are critical for national development and global compet-itiveness in the 21st century. In addition to providing a firmbase,thelearningareaisalsoexpectedtoenhancelearners’confidenceandsenseofselffulfilment,collegiality and intellectual honesty, hence contributing to their growth in the acquisition of Unhu/Ubuntu//Vumunhu values.

1.2 RATIONALE

In its socio-economic transformation agenda, Zimbabwe has embarked on an industrialisation development strategy, where high level mathematical knowledge and skills are a prerequisite. To this end, Additional Math-ematics learners are expected to emerge with a solid basis for further studies in STEM, and with enhanced mathematical competencies. These include abstract and analytical thinking, logical reasoning, designing algorithms, communicating mathematical information effectively, conjecturing and proving conjectures, modelling life phenomena into mathematical language in order to better understand those phenomena and to solve related problems and applying mathematics in a wide variety of contexts. It is from the pool of individuals with such competencies that some of Zimbabwe’s most creative thinkers, innovators, inventors and mathemati-cally literate entrepreneurs are expected to emerge. This is critical for sustainable development.

1.3 SUMMARY OF CONTENT

The Form 5- 6 Additional Mathematics syllabus will cover the theoretical concepts and their applications. This two year learning area consists of Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics.

1.4 ASSUMPTIONS

The syllabus assumes that the learner:

• hasatalentinmathematics• hasahighpassinMathematicsorapassineither

Pure Mathematics or Additional Mathematics at Form 4.

• IsexcellinginPureMathematicsatForm5

1.5 CROSS- CUTTING ISSUES

The following are some of the cross cutting themes catered for in the teaching and learning of Additional Mathematics:-

• Businessandfinancialliteracy• Disasterandriskmanagement• Communication• Teambuilding• Problemsolving• Environmentalissues• Enterpriseskills• InformationCommunicationandTechnology(ICT)• HIV&AIDS

2.0 PRESENTATION OF SYLLABUSThe Additional Mathematics syllabus is a single document covering Form 5–6. It contains the preamble, aims, objectives, syllabus topics, scope and sequence, competency matrix and assessment procedures. The syllabus also suggests a list of resources to be used during the teaching and learning process.

3.0 AIMSThe syllabus will enable learners to:

3.4 develop a greater appreciation of the role of mathematics in personal, community and na-tional development in line with Unhu/Ubuntu/Vumunhu

3.5 further develop an appreciation for and ability to use I.C.T tools in solving problems in math-ematical and other contexts

3.6 develop the ability to communicate mathemati-cal ideas and to learn cooperatively

4.0 OBJECTIVESThe learners should be able to:

4.1 use mathematical skills and techniques that are necessary for further studies

4.2 use mathematical models to solve problems in life and for sustainable development

4.3 use I.C.T tools in solving problems in mathe-matical and other contexts

4.4 demonstrate expertise, perseverance, coop-eration and intellectual honesty for personal, community and national development

4.5 interpret mathematical results and their impli-cations in life

4.6 communicate mathematical results and their implications in life

4.7 draw inferences through correct manipulation of data

4.9 apply relevant mathematical notations and terms in problem solving

4.10 present data through appropriate presenta-tions

4.11 apply mathematical skills in other learning areas

4.12 conduct mathematical proofs

5.0 METHODOLOGY AND TIME ALLOCATION

5.1 Methodology

A constructivist based teaching and learning approach is recommended for the Form 5 – 6 Additional Mathematics Syllabus. The theoretical basis for this approach is that: in a conducive environment with appropriate stimuli, learners’ capacity to build on their pre-requisite knowledge and create new mathematical knowledge is enhanced. A conducive environment in this context is one that encourages creativity and originality; a free

exchange of ideas and information; inclusivity and respect for each other’s views, regardless of personal circumstances (in terms of, for example: gender, ap-pearance, disability and religious beliefs); collaboration and cooperation; intellectual honesty; diligence and persistence; and Unhu/ Ubuntu /Vumunhu. This is particularly important in a learning area like mathematics, given the negative attitudes associated with its teaching and learning.

Providing appropriate stimuli has to do with posing rel-evant challenges that excite learners, and help to make learningAdditionalMathematicsanenjoyable,fulfillingexperience. Such challenges could be posed in the form of problems that encourage learners to create new mathematical ideas in line with the teacher expectations and even beyond. New knowledge acquired in such a manner tends to be deep rooted and meaningful to learners, hence enhancing their ability to apply it within thelearningareaandinlife.Definitelyspoonfeedingisnot and cannot be an appropriate stimulus, as it does not help learners to develop critical thinking, creativity, and the ability to think outside the box, which are critical for self-reliance, national sustainable development and global competitiveness. Thus learners need to be active participants and decision makers in the Additional Mathematics teaching and learning process, with the teacher playing the facilitator’s role.Pre-requisite knowledge and skills refers to what the learners should already know and can do, which can form a strong basis on which to construct the expected new knowledge. Thus the Additional Mathematics teacher needs to carefully analyse the new concepts and principles he/she intends to introduce, identify the relevant pre-requisite knowledge, assess to identify any gaps,andtakeappropriatestepstofillsuchgaps.The following, is a list of teaching and learning approach-es that are consistent with, and supportive of the above approach:

5.1.1 Guided discovery 5.1.2 Group work5.1.3 Interactive e-learning5.1.4 Problem solving5.1.5 Discussion5.1.6 Modelling5.1.7 Visual tactile

The above suggested methods should be enhanced through the application of multi-sensory (inclusive) approaches.

9.0 ASSESSMENT

9.1 Assessment Objectives

The assessment will test candidate’s ability to:-

9.1.1 usemathematicalsymbols,termsanddefinitionsappropriately9.1.2 sketch graphs accurately 9.1.3 use appropriate formulae, algorithms and strategies to solve problems in familiar and less familiar contexts 9.1.4 solve problems in Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics systematically9.1.5 apply mathematical reasoning and communicate mathematical ideas clearly 9.1.6 conduct mathematical proofs rigorously9.1.7 make effective use of a variety of ICT tools in solving problems 9.1.8 construct and use appropriate mathematical models for a given life situation 9.1.9 conduct research projects including those related to enterprise9.1.10 draw inferences through correct manipulation of data.9.1.11 use data correctly to predict trends for planning and decision making purposes9.1.12 construct mathematical arguments through appropriate use of precise statements, logical deduction and inference and by the manipulation of mathematical expressions9.1.13 evaluate mathematical models including an appreciation of the assumptions made and interpret, justify and present the result from a mathematical analysis in a form relevant to the original problem

9.2 Scheme of Assessment

Forms 5 to 6 Additional Mathematics assessment will be based on 30% Continuous Assessment and 70% Summative Assessment.The syllabus’ scheme of assessment is grounded in the principle of equalisation of opportunities hence, doesnotcondonedirectorindirectdiscriminationoflearners.Arrangements,accommodationsandmodificationsmust be visible in both Continuous and Summative Assessments to enable candidates with special needs to access assessments and receive accurate performance measurement of their abilities. Access arrangements must neither give these candidates an undue advantage over others nor compromise the standards being assessed.Candidates who are unable to access the assessments of any component or part of component due to disability (transitory or permanent) may be eligible to receive an award based on the assessment they would have taken.NBForfurtherdetailsonarrangements,accommodationsandmodificationsrefertotheassessmentprocedurebooklet.

a) Continuous Assessment

Continuous Assessment for Form 5 – 6 will consists of topic tasks, written tests, end of term examinations and projects to measure soft skills.

i) Topic Tasks

These are activities that teachers use in their day to day teaching. These should include practical activities, assign-ments and group work activities.

ii) Written Tests

These are tests set by the teacher to assess the concepts and skills covered during a given period of up to a month. The tests should consist of short structured questions as well as long structured questions.

iii) End of term examinations

These are comprehensive tests of the whole term’s or year’s work and can be set at school or district or provincial level.
