Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 9 Mathematics End Term 3 2026 Exam with Marking Scheme. The PDF version is also available upon your request. The marking scheme is towards the end of the file.

  This examination rigorously tests foundational and advanced junior school mathematical concepts across numerical computation, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and commercial arithmetic. It is ideal for end-of-year school-based national assessment preparation towards the end of the term, and can also be effectively administered as a mid-term assessment for schools that have completed the syllabus early at the beginning of the term.
