Baroque Senior One Mathematics Learner's Book

Baroque Senior One Mathematics Learner's Book has been developed basing on the New Lower Secondary School Curriculum, whose aim is to enable learners to make informed decisions as citizens and family members and to give them the learning skills that they need to think critically and study efficiently.

The Learner's Book has been designed while taking care of special learning needs. It has been developed to ensure that the majority of the learners leave school with a worthwhile relevant qualification in Mathematics that they will eventually use in everyday life and at workplaces.

The major aim of the content in this book is to develop mathematical understanding, logical reasoning, thinking, problem-solving skills, and analytical thought, with the intent to help learners to solve familiar and unfamiliar problems. The content is purposed to build the confidence of the learner with the Mathematics that he/she uses in his/her daily life and the community at large.

The following aspects have been given consideration while developing the content of this book; respect for human life, awareness of the importance of living in harmony with the environment, plus independent and critical thinking.

On completion of this course of study, the learner should;

• be ready to make informed decisions basing on a sound understanding of facts,
• figures, and opinions,
• be responsible for his/her own learning,
• think for himself/herself and develop understanding of the different concepts, become a critical thinker, who is ready to face new challenges and situations,
