Integrated Mathematics

The Integrated Mathematics course of study will provide students with the knowledge and skills sets required to model practical situations and provide workable solutions in their respective field of study. These skills include critical and creative thinking, problem solving, logical reasoning, modelling ability, team work, decision making, research techniques, information communication and technological competencies for life-long learning. Such holistic development becomes useful for the transition into industry research and further studies required at tertiary levels. Moreover, the attitude and discipline which accompany the study of Mathematics also nurture desirable character qualities.

The skills and abilities that students are expected to develop on completion of this syllabus have been grouped under three headings:

Conceptual Knowledge

The examination will test candidates’ ability to recall, select and use appropriate facts, concepts and principles in a variety of contexts.

Algorithmic Knowledge

The examination will test candidates’ ability to manipulate mathematical expressions and procedures using appropriate symbols and language, logical deduction and inferences.

Reasoning

The examination will test candidates’ ability to select appropriate strategy or select, use and evaluate mathematical models and interpret the results of a mathematical solution in terms of a given real-world problem and engage in problem-solving.

Prerequisites of the Syllabus

Any person with a good grasp of the contents of the syllabus of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) General Proficiency course in Mathematics, or equivalent, should be able to undertake the course. However, successful participation in the course will also depend on the possession of good verbal and written communication skills.

Syllabus Structure

Module 1

Foundations of Mathematics

Module 2
