Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Mathematics Term 3 Schemes of Work 2026 - Mentor Essential Mathematics. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  This downloadable Scheme of Work provides a comprehensive, structured plan for teaching Grade 10 Mathematics during Term 3 2026. Aligned with the Senior School Mathematics curriculum, the scheme utilizes the Mentor Essential Mathematics textbook (pages 132-207) as its primary learning resource, supplemented by 3D models, geometry sets, scientific calculators, graph paper, and digital tools.

  The scheme is organized into the following strands and substrands:

  • Measurements and Geometry

    • Volume and Capacity

    • Commercial Arithmetic I

  • Statistics and Probability

    • Statistics

    • Probability

  The topics covered throughout the term include:

  • Volume and Capacity: Practical modeling and formula derivation for the volume of cones (V = 1/3 x pi x r² x h), including calculating volume given slant height using Pythagoras' theorem. Learners calculate the volume of square- and rectangular-based pyramids (V = 1/3 x base area x h), frustums of cones and pyramids by subtracting smaller shapes from larger ones, and composite solids. Includes real-world applications to rainwater collection tanks, traditional cooking pots, buckets, and unit conversions between cubic measurements and litres/millilitres.

  • Commercial Arithmetic I: Preparing and balancing club/society budgets, identifying income sources, and managing emergency allocations. Learners practice calculating simple and percentage discounts, sales commissions, tiered commission rates for real estate and sales roles, profit and loss calculations including perishable goods, and reading Central Bank currency exchange rate tables to convert Kenyan shillings to and from foreign currencies.

  • Statistics: Collecting environmental data, constructing frequency distribution tables for ungrouped data using tally marks, and calculating measures of central tendency, including mean (Mean = sum of fx / sum of f), mode, and median. Learners compare central tendency measures across contexts and represent data visually through bar graphs, line graphs, and pie charts, including calculating sector angles using (Value / Total) x 360 degrees.

  • Probability: Exploring equally likely outcomes using coins, dice, and spinners. Learners calculate probabilities using P(E) = n(E) / n(S), evaluate the probability range (0 <= P(A) <= 1) for certain and impossible events, and apply addition rules for mutually exclusive events (P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)) and multiplication rules for independent events (P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)).

  This 2026 downloadable PDF and Word scheme of work offers mathematics educators complete coverage of essential formulas, practical modeling exercises, graph construction tasks, and structured assessment methods.
