ts
Thus, it had been decided to introduce a competency based syllabus in 2009. The earlier revision of the G.C.E. (Advanced Level) Combined Mathematics
n
syllabus was conducted in 1998. One of the main reason for the need to revise the earlier syllabus had been that in the Learning - Teaching- Assessment
me
process, competencies and competency levels had not been introduced adequately. It has been planned to change the existing syllabus that had been
designed on a content based approach to a competency based curriculum in 2009. In 2007, the new curriculum revision which started at Grades 6 and 10 had
introduced a competency based syllabi to Mathematics. This was continued at Grades 7 and 11 in 2008 and it will be continued to Grades 8 and 12 in 2009.
Thus, a need has arisen to provide a competency based syllabus for Combined Mathematics at G.C.E.(Advanced Level) to those pupils who had followed
a competency Based syllabus at Grades 10 and 11.
om
The student who has learnt Mathematics at Grades 6-11 under the new curriculum reforms through a competency based approach, enters grade 12 to learn
r C
Combined Mathematics at Grades 12 and 13 should be provided with abilities, skills and practical experiences for his future needs. and these have been
identified and the new syllabus has been formulated accordingly. It is expected that all these competencies would be achieved by pupils who complete
o
learning this subject at the end of Grade 13.
F
Pupils should achieve the competencies through competency levels and these are mentioned under each competency.
It also specifies the content that is needed for the pupils to achieve these competency levels. The number of periods that are needed to implement the
process of Learning-Teaching and Assessment also mentioned in the syllabus.
Other than the facts mentioned regarding the introduction of the new curriculum, what had already been presented regarding the introduction of Combined
Mathematics Syllabus earlier which are mentioned below too are valid.
• To decrease the gap between G.C.E. (Ordinary Level) Mathematics and G.C.E. (Advanced Level) Combined Mathematics.
• To provide Mathematics knowledge to follow Engineering and Physical Science courses.
• To provide a knowledge in Mathematics to follow Technological and other course at Tertiary level.
• To provide Mathematics knowledge for commercial and other middle level employment.
• To provide guidance to achieve various competencies on par with their mental activities and to show how they could be developed throughout
life.

2.0 Common National Goals
s
The national system of education should assist individuals and groups to achieve major national goals that are relevant to the individual and society. Over
t
the years major education reports and documents in Sri Lanka have set goals that sought to meet individual and national needs. In the light of the
n
weaknesses manifest in contemporary educational structures and processes, the National Education Commission has identified the following set of goals
e
to be achieved through education within the conceptual framework of sustainable human development.
m
Nation building and the establishment of a Sri Lankan identity through the promotion of national cohesion, national integrity, national unity,
m
harmony and peace, and recognizing cultural diversity in Sri Lanka’s plural society within a concept of respect for human dignity.
II
III
Co
Recognizing and conserving the best elements of the nation’s heritage while responding to the challenges of a changing world.
Creating and supporting an environment imbued with the norms of social justice and a democratic way of life that promotes respect for human
r
rights, awareness of duties and obligations, and a deep and abiding concern for one another.
IV
VI
o
Promoting the mental and physical well-being of individuals and a sustainable life style based on respect for human values.
F
Developing creativity, initiative, critical thinking, responsibility, accountability and other positive elements of a well-integrated and balance personality.
Human resource development by educating for productive work that enhances the quality of life of the individual and the nation and contributes
to the economic development of Sri Lanka.
VII Preparing individuals to adapt to and manage change, and to develop capacity to cope with complex and unforeseen situations in a rapidly
changing world.
VIII Fostering attitudes and skills that will contribute to securing an honourable place in the international community, based on justice, equality and
mutual respect.
3.0 Basic Competencies
The following Basic Competencies developed through education will contribute to achieving the above National Goals.
(i) Competencies in Communication
nts
Competencies in Communication are based on four subjects: Literacy, Numeracy, Graphics and IT proficiency.
Literacy :
Numeracy :
me

Use numbers for things, space and time, count, calculate and measure systematically.
m
Graphics : Make sense of line and form, express and record details, instructions and ideas with line form and color.
o
IT proficiency : Computeracy and the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in learning, in the work environment and in
personal life.
(ii) Competencies relating to Personality Development
r C
o
- General skills such as creativity, divergent thinking, initiative, decision making, problem solving, critical and analytical thinking, team
work, inter-personal relations, discovering and exploring;
-
- F
Values such as integrity, tolerance and respect for human dignity;
Emotional intelligence.
nts
Included here are skills in using tools and technologies for learning, working and living.
me
(iv) Competencies relating to Preparation for the World of Work.
Employment related skills to maximize their potential and to enhance their capacity
to contribute to economic development,
om
to discover their vocational interests ad aptitudes,
to choose a job that suits their abilities, and
C
to engage in a rewarding and sustainable livelihood.
r

(v) Competencies relating to Religion and Ethics
F
Assimilating and internalizing values, so that individuals may function in a manner consistent with the ethical, moral and religious modes of
conduct in everyday living, selecting that which is most appropriate.
(vi) Competencies in Play and the Use of Leisure
Pleasure, joy, emotions and such human experiences as expressed through aesthetics, literature, play, sports and athletics, leisure pursuits
and other creative modes of living.
(iii)
ts
To improve the students knowledge of logical thinking in mathematics.
n
e
(iv) To motivate the students to learn mathematics.
m
This syllabus was prepared to achieve the above objectives through learning mathematics. It is expected not only to improve the knowledge of mathematics
but also to improve the skill of applying the knowledge of mathematics in their day to day life and character development through this new syllabus.
om
When we implement this competency Based Syllabus in the learning - teaching process.
•
•
r C
Meaningful Discovery situations provided would lead to learning that would be more student centred.
It will provide competencies according to the level of the students.
•
•
•
o
Teacher's targets will be more specific.
F
Teacher can provide necessary feed back as he/she is able to identify the student's levels of achieving each competency level.
Teacher can play a transformation role by being away from other traditional teaching methods.
When this syllabus is implemented in the classroom the teacher should be able to create new teaching techniques by relating to various situations under
given topics according to the current needs.
For the teachers it would be easy to assess and evaluate the achievement levels of students as it will facilitate to do activities on each competency level
in the learning- teaching process.
In this syllabus, the sections given below are helpful in the teaching - learning process of Combined Mathematics.

7.0 TEACHING LEARNING STRATEGIES
To facilitate the students to achieve the anticipated outcome of this course, a variety of teaching stategies must be employed. If students are to improve
their mathematical communication, for example, they must have the opportunity to discuss interpretations, solution, explanations etc. with other students
as well as their teacher. They should be encouraged to communicate not only in writing but orally, and to use diagrams as well as numerial, symbolic and
word statements in their explanations.
ts
Students learn in a multitude of ways. Students can be mainly visual, auditory or kinesthetic learners, or employ a variety of senses when learning. The
mmen
range of learning styles in influenced by many factors, each of which needs to be considered in determining the most appropriate teaching strategies.
Research suggests that the cltural and social background has a significant impact on the way students learn mathematics. These differences need to be

recognised and a variety of teaching strategies to be employed so that all students have equal access to the development of mathematical knowledge and
skills.
For
Learning can occur within a large group where the class is taught as a whole and also within a small group where students interact with other members
of the group, or at an individual level where a student interacts with the teacher or another student, or works independently. All arrangements have their
8.0 SCHOOL POLICY AND PROGRAMMES
To make learning of Mathematics meaningful and relevant to the students classroom work ought not to be based purely on the development of
knowledge and skills but also should encompass areas like communication, connection, reasoning and problem solving. The latter four aims, ensure the
enhancement of the thinking and behavioural process of childern.
For this purpose apart from normal classroom teaching the following co-curricular activities will provide the opportunity for participation of every child
in the learning process.
• Student’s study circles
• Mathematical Societies
• Mathematical camps

•
Use of the library

Fo
• Collectin historical data regarding mathematics
• Use of multimedia
• Projects
It is the responsibility of the mathematics teacher to organise the above activities according to the facilities available. When organising these activities the
teacher and the students can obtain the assistance of relevant outside persons and institution.
In order to organise such activites on a regular basis it is essential that each school develops a policy of its own in respect of Mathematics. This would
form a part of the overall school policy to be developed by each school. In developin the policy, in respect of Mathematics, the school should take
cognisance of the physical environment of the school and neighbourhood, the needs and concerns of the students and the community associated with the
school and the services of resource personnel and institutions to which the school has access.
The school should develop ists annual programmes, consisting of a variety of activities for achieving policy goals. In determining the activities to be
undertaken during a particular year, the school will need to identify priorities and consider feasibility in relation to time and resource constraints.
However, the school could organise a range of activities adequate to cater to the development of the variety of interests and aptitudes of different
students.
9.0 ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
It is intended to implement this syllabus in schools with the School Based Assessment (SBA) process. Teachers will prepare creative teaching - learning
instruments on the basis of school terms.
