South Sudan Primary 4 Syllabus - Mathematics

This syllabus covers five main units: Numbers, Measurement, Geometry, Algebra, and Statistics. The curriculum emphasizes a practical approach to mathematics, applying concepts to real-life situations and promoting collaborative learning. The Pupil's Book and Teacher's Guide provide comprehensive coverage of the national syllabus, focusing on building a strong foundation in mathematical basics.

Unit 1: Numbers

This unit covers reading, writing, comparing, and ordering numbers up to 5 digits, rounding off to the nearest thousands, multiples and factors, addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominators, comparing equivalent fractions, and understanding percentages and ratios as tools for comparison. Activities include using abacuses and real-life scenarios like market prices.

Unit 2: Measurement

This unit focuses on practical measurement skills related to length, area, volume, capacity, money, and time. Learners work with units like centimeters, meters, square units, cubic units, liters, and South Sudanese Pounds. Activities include estimating and measuring objects, calculating area and volume, and converting between 12-hour and 24-hour clock systems.

Unit 3: Geometry

This unit introduces intersecting, perpendicular, and parallel lines, as well as different types of angles (acute, right, obtuse, straight). Learners practice drawing and measuring angles using protractors and explore the application of angles in real-world contexts like construction.

Unit 4: Algebra

This unit introduces algebraic concepts, using letters to represent numbers. Learners identify like and unlike terms, perform simple addition and subtraction of algebraic expressions, and form expressions from word problems. Activities include using objects to represent variables and solving real-life scenarios.

Unit 5: Statistics

This unit covers data collection, recording, representation, and interpretation. Learners work with bar graphs, line graphs, and pie charts to represent data and draw conclusions. Activities include conducting surveys, tallying results, and creating different types of graphs.
