MATOKEO YA MITIHANI KIDATO CHA PILI 2025
043 MATHEMATICS (For Both
School and Private Students)
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Form Two National Assessment
Format for Mathematics has been prepared in accordance with the Mathematics
Syllabus for Ordinary Secondary Education issued by the Tanzania Institute of
Education in 2023. Basically, the format describes the skills to be tested, the
number of items, the percentage weight per competence(s) and specific
competences outlined in the Mathematics Syllabus. It aims to serve as a
guideline for assessors to evaluate the mathematical competences and skills
acquired by students during their two years of secondary education.
2.0 MAIN COMPETENCES
The assessment will test the
students' ability to demonstrate mastery of:
2.1 mathematical language;
2.2 basic concepts in geometry and algebra; and
2.3 basic concepts in coordinate geometry, trigonometry, circles, vectors,
probability and statistics.
3.0 ASSESSMENT RUBRIC
The Mathematics assessment will
comprise one (1) paper lasting for 2:30 hours. For students with special needs,
the duration of the assessment will be 3:20 hours. The paper will consist of 10
questions. The student will be required to answer all the questions. Each
question will carry 10 marks, making a total of 100 marks for the whole paper.
Note: Students will
be allowed to use non-programmable calculators.
4.0 COMPETENCES TO BE ASSESSED
Students will be assessed in the
following competences:
4.1 Demonstrating mastery of
mathematical language.
- 4.1.1 using numerical skills in different contexts;
- 4.1.2 using ratios and proportions in daily life;
and
- 4.1.3 using rates and variations in different
contexts.
4.2 Demonstrating mastery of
basic concepts in geometry and algebra.
- 4.2.1 using geometry, approximations, relations,
and functions in various contexts;
- 4.2.2 using algebra and matrices in problem
solving; and
- 4.2.3 using sets, sequences and series in problem
solving.
4.3 Demonstrating mastery of
basic concepts in coordinate geometry, trigonometry, circles, vectors,
probability and statistics.
- 4.3.1 using basic coordinate geometry,
trigonometry, and vectors skills in daily life.
