NCDC S.1 & S.2 Mathematics

Guidance to Teacher
These sample test items are intended to guide teachers of Mathematics how to develop end of year assessment items for Senior One and Senior Two. They do not constitute a complete examination paper for the subject. To determine the number of items in the paper, the teacher should consider the demand of each item on the test taker and the duration an average learner can spend providing the response. Ideally, at this level, a Mathematics examination should not take more than 1 hour 30 Minutes. The teacher should benchmark on the samples provided rather than replicate them.

Below each item, the competency assessed are indicated. This is intended to remind the teacher to keep the syllabus outcomes in mind while developing the items.

The assessment paper should have two sections:
1. Short response items
2. Extended response items
