Form Five Unit Objectives 2016-17 Academic Year

NOTE TO TEACHERS: The objectives outlined within each topic group are guidelines for what
should be accomplished. This does not mean that they must be done in the order in which they appear;
doing so is contrary to logical practice. In order to help you ensure the students have as complete an
understanding of this topic as possible the objectives should be woven into your lesson planning to
work through them as efficiently as possible. There may be times when you wish to capture objectives
from another topic area while you are covering another topic (this often happens with quadratics for
example).

We teach units of material not chapters of a text book. Teachers are expected to supplement material
in the text with teaching aids, manipulative materials and other necessary items in accordance with the
standards of the teaching profession.
