Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises Grade 1 Rationalized Mathematics Activities Curriculum Design.

  This is a Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) design developed by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). The curriculum was first published in 2017 and revised in 2024 following curriculum rationalisation based on the recommendations of the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms and continuous curriculum monitoring and evaluation.

  • Level: Lower Primary – Grade 1
  • Learning Area: Mathematical Activities
  • Lesson Allocation: 5 lessons per week
  • Total Suggested Lessons: 150
  • Curriculum Approach: Competency Based Curriculum (CBC)
  • Focus: Development of numeracy skills, logical thinking, problem-solving abilities, spatial awareness and data interpretation to support everyday life and future STEM learning
  • Core Competencies Integrated: Communication and Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Creativity and Imagination, Citizenship, Digital Literacy, Learning to Learn and Self-efficacy
  • Other Components: National Goals of Education, Essence Statement, General Learning Outcomes, Suggested Learning Experiences, Key Inquiry Questions, Values, Pertinent and Contemporary Issues (PCIs), Assessment Rubrics, Suggested Learning Resources and Community Service Learning

  It covers the following strands and substrands:

  • Strand 1.0: Numbers (90 lessons)
    • 1.1 Pre-number Activities – 20 lessons
    • 1.2 Whole Numbers – 25 lessons
    • 1.3 Addition – 25 lessons
    • 1.4 Subtraction – 20 lessons
  • Strand 2.0: Measurement (48 lessons)
    • 2.1 Length – 10 lessons
    • 2.2 Mass – 10 lessons
    • 2.3 Capacity – 12 lessons
    • 2.4 Time – 8 lessons
    • 2.5 Money – 8 lessons
  • Strand 3.0: Geometry (12 lessons)
    • 3.1 Lines – 6 lessons
    • 3.2 Shapes – 6 lessons

  The curriculum emphasises practical and hands-on learning using real objects from the learner’s environment. Learners develop skills such as counting up to 50, basic addition and subtraction without regrouping, comparing and measuring length, mass and capacity using arbitrary units, understanding days of the week and months of the year, recognising Kenyan currency coins and notes, and identifying straight/curved lines and basic shapes. It also provides detailed performance-based assessment rubrics, integration of financial literacy, environmental awareness, safety, social cohesion and use of digital devices to support meaningful and interactive learning.
