Effective knowledge of science and mathematics is the foundation for development in practically all facets of life. Without a solid foundation in mathematics, nearly no aspect of life can advance in any significant way.

This is why the study of mathematics is given a lot of emphasis in the educational systems of nations that are concerned about their progress.

The primary purpose of the mathematics curriculum is to enable all young people in Ghana to acquire the mathematical knowledge, abilities, perspectives, attitudes, and values they will need to succeed in their chosen occupations and daily lives.

The dual tenets that all students can learn mathematics and that all students need to learn mathematics form the foundation of the new curriculum.

As a result, the syllabus is created to match the mathematics expectations in many different regions of the world. The knowledge and skills acquired in primary school are expanded upon in Ghana’s junior high school (J H S).

At the J.H.S. level, the student is required to go beyond the classroom and apply mathematical concepts to real-world circumstances. For students finishing their education at the J.H.S. level as well as for those continuing into tertiary education and beyond, strong mathematical competencies developed at the J.H.S. level are essential requirements for effective study in mathematics, science, commerce, industry, and a variety of other professions and vocations.

The syllabus is designed to help the pupil to:

1. Establish fundamental concepts of size and distance.

2. Improve your ability to choose and use classification and generalization criteria.

3. effectively communicate utilizing mathematical terminology, symbols, and justifications.

4. Employ mathematical problem-solving techniques in daily life by identifying them and using them.

5. Recognize the measurement process and learn how to use the right measuring tools.

6. acquire the skills and motivation to do research utilizing diverse mathematical concepts and operations.

7. Participate in math exercises and projects cooperatively with other students to foster the virtues of cooperation, tolerance, and diligence.

8. use the calculator and computer to research real-world issues and solve problems
