INTRODUCTION
This Teacher Guide must be used in conjunction with the Primary eight
learner’s book
The guide provides you with guidelines and directions to help you plan
and develop teaching and learning activities for the achievement of the
learning outcomes.
Primary 8 Mathematics
Unit Title
1 Numbers: complex problems
2 Measurement: Volumes of solids
3 Geometry: co-ordinate geometry
4 Algebra: Algebraic expressions and sets
5 Statistics: Group data and probability (2)
6 Business accounting

certain attitudes during teaching and learning processes that would help
the learner to think critically through various activities given in the
learner's book.
Purpose
This Teacher’s Guide must be used in conjunction with the Mathematics
pupil’s book. Its main purpose is to help you to implement the syllabus in
your classroom.
This guide provides you with guidelines to help you plan and develop
teaching and learning activities for the achievement of the learning
outcomes. It also provides you with information and processes to:
a) Problem-based learning
Using this strategy, you can set a problem or a task for the class to solve.
Steps
b) Open-ended questions
2
Open-ended questions can have more than one answer and the variety of
possible answers allows learners to make important discoveries.
? TP = 160 cm ?
Opposite sides are equal in length. What would be the lengths of the
sides of the rectangle? How many different answers can you find?’
If a learner comes up with one answer and stops, ask the class if anyone
had a different answer. How many different answers are possible?
You may allow the learners to discuss their answers in groups and agree
on an answer for presentation and discussion.
One open-ended question can provide many answers for learners to find
and provides them with practice basic skills.
c) Group work
Every group should have a leader to supervise the group’s activities. The
leader would, for example, delegate tasks and consult you for assistance.
3
Group activities can take place inside or outside the classroom. A good
example of a group activity would be drawing shapes such as squares and
rectangles, and making models of common three-dimensional shapes
such as cubes or cones.
Groups of learners could also use a soccer field to measure distance and
perimeter using traditional methods of measuring such as with strings
and sticks.
This will not only ensure participation by all pupils but also gives room
for collaborative learning and talk. When grouping, bear in mind their
special educational needs, gender balance and their abilities. Groups
should never be too large.

MAKING CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT
• Observation – watching learners as they work to assess the skills
learners are developing.

2.4 Converting m3 to cm3
Example 14.
1. Convert 13.8m3 to cm3
1m3 = 1000000cm3
= 13800000cm3
1m3 = 10000cm3
= 75000cm3
To convert cm3 to m3, divide the
value given by 10000.
Example 15.
1. Convert 1500cm3 to m3
1000000cm3 = 1m3
1500cm3 = 1500/1000000
= 0.0015m3
2. Convert 28450cm3 to m3
1000000cm3 = 1m3
28450cm3 = 28450/1000000
= 0.02845m3

4.4 Finite Sets & Infinite Sets
Finite Set: A set where the process of counting the elements of the set
would surely come to an end is called finite set.
Expected Answers
1. Set A = {12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22}
Set B = {16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28}
Activity 3
Guide learners to form groups and they should start by filling in as much
information as possible on the Venn diagram:
51
You can see each circle only has one section missing. Since we know the
total number that took each subject, we can work out those missing
sections.
Science
20 + 18 + 8 = 46
65 are sitting Science altogether
65 – 46 = 19
19 pupils are sitting Science only
Maths
20 + 15 + 8 = 43
72 are sitting Maths
72 – 43 = 29
29 pupils sitting Maths only
English
18 + 15 + 8 = 41
55 of the pupils are sitting English
55 – 41 = 14
14 pupils are sitting English only
14 + 15 + 18 + 19 + 20 + 8 + 29 = 123
Now subtract this from the total number of pupils in Year 11:
150 – 123 = 27
So we know 123 pupils will sit exams and since there are 150 pupils in
the year group, there must be 27 pupils who did not sit any of these
examinations.

statistical graphs, the values of central tendencies and how to calculate
possible outcomes of events.

Setting the goals (formulation of a hypothesis): Come up with a
statement or postulate that you will verify through the research. This
helps the researcher to be focused and to come up with guiding
questions for the research.
