CBC & TSC-Aligned Mathematics Roadmap (2027–2028)

Inspired by the Kapitals-Pi Blog & MOE Syllabus, refined through the lens of Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) and Teacher Service Commission (TSC) professional expectations.

Year: 2027

Term 1 (Jan–Apr)

CBC Strand: Numbers, Algebra & Geometry Basics
TSC Objective: Foundational Competency in Numbers & Reasoning

• Use whole numbers and fractions to model real-life situations (Grade 9–10 equivalence)
• Construct basic geometric figures and apply angle properties
• Develop financial literacy using ratio and proportion

Key Competencies: Critical thinking, Communication, Self-efficacy
Assessment Mode: Formative observation rubrics, peer assessment, timed exercises

Term 2 (May–Jul)

CBC Strand: Algebraic Processes & Statistics I
TSC Objective: Strengthen analytical tools in expressions, graphs, and interpretation

• Expand and simplify expressions (binomial, trinomials)
• Solve linear and quadratic equations (graphical and algebraic methods)
• Introduce data collection, bar/pie charts, basic mean/median analysis

Key Competencies: Communication, Numeracy, Creativity
Assessment Mode: Practical graph plotting, short quizzes, concept maps

Term 3 (Sep–Nov)

CBC Strand: Measurement, Geometry & Trigonometry I
TSC Objective: Apply geometry and trigonometry in navigation and design

• Surface area and volume of real-world 3D solids
• Apply Pythagoras’ Theorem, basic trigonometric ratios
• Explore angle of elevation/depression in geography links

Key Competencies: Collaboration, Spatial awareness, Digital literacy
Assessment Mode: Group projects, math journaling, diagram critique

Year: 2028

Term 1 (Jan–Apr)

CBC Strand: Advanced Geometry, Statistics II & Algebra Mastery
TSC Objective: Refine logical reasoning through advanced patterning & analysis

• Circle geometry (chords, cyclic quads, tangents)
• Compound interest, depreciation, taxation
• Histograms, cumulative frequency curves

Key Competencies: Critical thinking, Financial literacy, Ethics
Assessment Mode: Inquiry-based tasks, midterm mocks, oral explanations

Term 2 (May–Jul)

CBC Strand: Integration, Transformations & Probability
TSC Objective: Foster mastery of mathematical models and simulations

• Transformations (rotation, reflection, translation, enlargement)
• Introduce basic integration & differentiation for STEM learners
• Probability of combined events using tree diagrams

Key Competencies: Problem solving, Scientific literacy, Communication
Assessment Mode: Investigation portfolios, model presentations, TSC-scheduled evaluations

Term 3 (Sep–Nov)

CBC Strand: KCSE Preparation & Real-World Application
TSC Objective: Evaluate mastery, bridge to tertiary and entrepreneurship

• Full paper practice under KCSE exam conditions
• Conceptual review of weak strands
• Mathematical modeling: agriculture, business, technology

Key Competencies: Resilience, Initiative, Entrepreneurial thinking
Assessment Mode: KCSE mock exams, CBC learner profiles, presentation of portfolios

Suggested Enhancements for Teachers

• Integrate ICT tools (Desmos, GeoGebra)
• Design cross-disciplinary problems with Biology, Geography, Business
• Use local contexts: e.g., area measurement in farming, interest in table banking
