Mathematics will set you on the correct path to become all that and more. Everyone needs Mathematics. It doesn't matter whether you take up a career in Mathematics or not; you will need to use numeracy skills and mathematical logic to solve a number of issues throughout your entire life. As you will soon find out, the diversity of Mathematics careers shall be an appealing aspect for you.
Mathematics will empower you with skills that are on high demand in many sectors. You will acquire skills relating to numeracy, problem-solving, data analysis, as well as a wider understanding and communication of complex relationships on a scientific and human level. This book is structured for you to delight in learning Mathematics.
During the learning process, you will be engaged in several activities, peculiar concepts, talking illustrations, projects, assessment activities and activities of integration.
You will learn most concepts starting from what you already know, through doing activities.
Make as much effort as possible to apply Mathematical knowledge and concepts in your daily life. Enjoy the experience of studying Mathematics to become a Mathematician.
Be creative and do not fear to explore new things. That is what Mathematics is all about.
Course Currilcum
-
- Topic 1: Number Bases Details 1 year
- Look around you, what kind of number can you read on the charts, calendars, clock, computers and any other material? All the numbers are either 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or a combination of these symbols.
- Topic 2: Working with Integers Details 1 year
- In this topic therefore, you will learn about positive and negative integers and how they help you solve everyday life problems.
- Topic 3: Fractions, Percentages and Decimals Details 1 year
- Every time you cut an orange, an apple, or any kind of fruit, you are taking a part of the whole. You can represent a fractions as a percentage, or as a decimal.
- Topic 4: Rectangular Cartesian Coordinate in Two Dimensions Details 1 year
- Imagine you're to travel to Soroti from Kampala, how many kilometres would you travel to the East, then to the North? The Cartesian grid can help you identify a point from the origin. This grid specifies each point uniquely in a plane using a set of numerical coordinates.
