In this post we shall be discussing in details about the required scheme of work for mathematics for JSS 2 1st term, 2nd term and 3rd term. This will give teachers the general knowledge of what is expected by WAEC as a body in preparing students for their Junior West African Junior Secondary Certificate Examination (WAJSCE).
As usual, this is the continuation of the scheme of work for JSS1 mathematics first to third term. When going through the scheme of work for JSS 2 mathematics as seen in this post, you would observe that some topics in the scheme of work for JSS1 mathematics third term can be seen in the scheme of work for JSS 2 mathematics 1st term. This flow helps the pupils to understand the subject better as it is a continuation from the previous term.
In accordance with the ministry of education, it is adamant that all Junior secondary schools in Nigeria operate with the same scheme of work be it a private secondary school or public (government owned) secondary school. The ministry of education in order to align with the demands of WAEC as a body, makes compulsory the submission of the government approved scheme of work for all subjects offered in Junior and senior secondary school as parts of the requirements during the process of approval.
What is a scheme of work in the first place? a scheme of work is defined as a guideline that defines the contents and structure of academic subjects. The scheme of work for secondary schools in Nigeria, whether Junior or Senior secondary school, maps out in clear terms, how the topics and subtopics for a particular subject, group works and practicals, discussions and assessment strategies, tests, quizzes, homework and even up to midterm breaks for the academic session ought to be structured in order to fit in perfectly, the approved academic activities for the session.
To further emphasize the importance of this document, the scheme of work is the complete guide on all academic activities enforced by the Federal government of Nigeria through the ministry of education on all Junior secondary schools in Nigeria as it relates not just to the subjects but the academic session as a whole. It is used to ensure that the learning purposes, aims and objectives of the subject meant for that class are successfully achieved.
Scheme of work for Mathematics in JSS 2 (Junior Secondary School 2) are the same for both private and public secondary schools in Nigeria, that is, the scheme of work for a private school is the same with that of public or government owned secondary schools, principals and teachers in secondary schools in Nigeria are to adhere to the approved scheme of work as mandated by the ministry of education.
Mathematics as a course is one of the most dreaded subjects amongst students in junior secondary schools. The scheme of work provided here would go a long way in not just helping the teachers in carefully breaking down the subject, topics and subtopics but also, devise more practical ways of imparting this knowledge on the pupils.
We have realized that the search for the government approved scheme of work for mathematics has been on the rise, reason being that mathematics is one of the most important subjects offered in Junior and senior secondary schools. It is also an important admission requirements for admission into any higher institution. The fact that the scheme of work for mathematics in Junior secondary is the same irrespective of whether the school if public or private, it makes it much easier and brings about uniformity in the educational sector.
This post is quite a lengthy one as it provide in full details, the government approved scheme of work for all topics and sub-topics for Mathematics for JSS 2 first term, second term and 3rd term.
For those interested in starting up a secondary school either in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano or any state in Nigeria, it would be wise to go through the government approved guidelines for establishing a secondary school in Nigeria as this would guide you through the process and give you first hand information on all requirements that must be put in place before your school can be approved or termed Government Approved.
The scheme of work for JSS 2 mathematics first term covers subjects like Whole number and decimal number, Prime factors, C. M. of whole number, C. F. of whole number, Square root, Fractions (ratios, decimals and percentages), approximation and the likes.
While 2nd term covers Algebraic expression, Simple Equation, Linear inequality, Graph of linear Inequality, Plane shapes and others as seen towards the end of this post.
The scheme of work for jss 2 3rd terms covers the following areas, Angles in a polygon, Pythagoras theorem Statistics, Probability, Areas and volume of cylinder and other topics as seen below
Please note that the scheme of work for JSS 2 mathematics provided here is for 1st term, 2nd term and 3rd term as approved by Lagos state government, Federal government and other states in Nigeria in alliance with WAEC.
