Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises Grade 9 Rationalized Mathematics Curriculum Design.

  This curriculum design is developed and published by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). It was first published in 2024 as part of the rationalized Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) for Junior School. Grade 9 is the final level of Junior School and aims to strengthen learners’ mathematical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and application of mathematical concepts in real-life situations while preparing them for STEM and other pathways at Senior School.

  • Curriculum Level: Junior School (Grade 9)
  • Learning Area: Mathematics
  • Lessons per Week: 5 lessons (40 minutes each)
  • Total Suggested Lessons: 150
  • Focus: Development of numeracy, logical thinking, analytical skills, financial literacy, and real-life application of mathematical concepts
  • Approach: Competency-based, learner-centred, inquiry-oriented learning with integration of core competencies, values, PCIs, ICT integration, and Community Service Learning (CSL)

  It covers the following strands and sub-strands with suggested lesson allocation:

  • Strand 1.0: Numbers – 29 lessons
    • 1.1 Integers – 6 lessons
    • 1.2 Cubes and Cube Roots – 6 lessons
