Grade 10 Maths Exam Revision Guide
Covering the content units is fundamental to students achieving good marks in Grade 10 Mathematics assessments and end-of-the-year examinations. Here are the key reasonings about the Grade 10 Mathematics Study Guide you should know before downloading the guide:
- The outline is based on the 2005 (published) Grade 10 Syllabus under the OBE curriculum.
- The teaching and learning outline is the list of Mathematics topics. It forms the structure that supports teaching (TEACHERS), learning (STUDENTS), Assessments (SCHOOL-BASED) and Examinations (NATIONWIDE ASSESSMENTS).
- It is the ‘skeletal’ structure, and therefore new and experienced Maths teachers at Grades 9 and 10 levels should cover those topics in depth.
- Teaching the content well at Grades 9 & 10 levels closes the ‘GAP’ and paves way for students to master senior school mathematics with ease.
- Covering the content units is fundamental to students achieving good marks in Grade 10 Mathematics assessments and end-of-the-year Mathematics examination.

In prep for the national examinations, the Grade 10 students can use the math guide to plan their mathematics revisions.
The maths exam revision guide is a document to help Grade 10 students identify (and confirm) what they are learning in the classroom. It can also be a good guide for arranging exam questions like what we did for Grade 10s here (Grade 10 mathematics revision questions and answers arranged by Core Contents and Unit of Study).
