1. Introduction
Business primarily revolves around the financial transaction or products that have some monetary value. Involvement of finance makes it extremely important to have sufficient knowledge about the basics of calculations. This is where business mathematics comes into play. It deals with the fundamental topics that one needs to carry out business related calculations. Realizing the necessity to impart the same on students, the curriculum has been developed for Grades 11 and 12 so as to prepare them for job market and for higher studies.
The curriculum of Business Mathematics for Grade 11 and 12 is designed to equip the students with mathematical and statistical concepts applicable in business and economics. The purpose of this course, then, is to present mathematical and statistical skills and concepts so that the students will be able to use them in management, economics, and social sciences. As mathematics and statistics are widely used in economics, business and finance, the students need a certain level of skill and understanding of the basic mathematical and statistical methods. The pedagogical approaches in delivering the course should consider the balance between theory and practice. In doing so, students should provide ample opportunities of working actively in real-world problems. The same applies in case of student evaluation procedure too.
The curriculum has different sections: level-wise competencies, grade-wise learning outcomes, contents and their elaboration, suggested project works, learning facilitation process and the assessment procedure. The major content areas included in this course are: algebra, calculus, financial mathematics, linear programming, statistics and probability.

5. Suggested Practical/Project Activities
During project works, students learn by actively engaging in real-world. Project work allows the students to study, do research and act by themselves using their abilities, interests, personal experience and aptitudes. Doing the computer works using excel requires students solve and analyze mathematical and statistical problems.
Each Student should do one project work or computer work (in the given table below, the second row in each content areas contains the project works and content areas where there is only one row the task is designed for project work) from each of six content areas and should give a 15-minute presentation. The project works or computer works will be documented in a file and will be submitted at the time of practical evaluation. Out of the project works, anyone can be presented at the time of practical evaluation. Whatever the style, the project work should include the following points:
· Historical background
· Description
· Key features or properties
· Relationship with others
· Geometrical illustrations
· Practical significance
· Varieties of examples other than those given in the textbook
· Limitations
· Varieties of problems with solutions other than those given in the textbook
· Use in everyday life, business, economics, finance, etc.
· Conclusion
The project works will be evaluated on the basis of clarity of aims, originality, presentation style and the skills demonstrated.

6. Learning Facilitation Methods and Process
The following principles should guide the learning facilitation of business mathematics:
· One of the most important principles in teaching mathematics is “Let It Make Sense”. The course assumes minimal mathematical background but includes the usefulness and relevance of basic mathematics in economics, finance, and business.
· Students need to be able to navigate their lives in this ever-so-complex modern world. This involves dealing with interest, annuities, taxes, loans, purchases, budgeting etc. Our youngsters need to be able to handle money wisely. All that requires good understanding of parts, proportions, and percentages.
· Another very important approach of mathematics education as a whole is to enable the students to understand information around us. In today’s world, this includes quite a bit of scientific information. Being able to read through it and make sense of it requires knowing statistics and probability.
· We need to prepare our students for further studies. Not everyone ultimately needs algebra, calculus, linear programming, but many do, and teens don’t always know what profession they might choose or end up with.
· Let students see some beauty of mathematics and learn to like it, or at the very least, make sure they don’t have negative felling towards mathematics.
· Finally, let students be familiar with modern computation skill. This involves working with excel.
It’s important to learn how to use any tool the student might acquire. Quantity won’t equal quality. Knowing a few “math tools” inside out is more beneficial than a mindless dashing to find the newest activity to spice up the math lessons. In this course, we do not show how the mathematical results have been obtained and proved, but we show how they may be used in real-life economics and business.
Gaining purposeful learning experiences through solving problems in relevant and meaningful contexts allows students to view mathematics in a practical setting relevant to their intended careers, and also motivates them to move on to increasingly more abstract concepts.
Teacher has to analyze and diagnose the weakness of the students and create appropriate learning environment to solve mathematical problems in teaching learning process. The following are some of the methods and techniques which can be used in delivering this course.
· Problem solving
· Case study
· Project work
· Question answer
· Discussion
· Discovery
· ICT
· Co-operative learning
· Lecture
7. Student Assessment
Continuous assessment of students for formative purpose will be an integral part of teaching learning process. Student’s summative evaluation will be done using both internal (25%) and external examination (75%).
(a) Internal Evaluation
Practical evaluation includes written tests (first term, second term), classroom participation and project work including presentation /excels lab work. The scores of evaluation will be used for providing feedback and to improve their learning. The criteria for internal evaluation are shown in the following table:
SN |
Criteria |
Marks |
1 |
Classroom participation (Daily attendance, home assignment and classwork, participation in learning, participation in other activities) |
3 |
2 |
Trimester exam (3 marks from each trimester exam) |
6 |
3 |
Project work, project report and presentation |

Total |
25 |
(b) External Evaluation
External evaluation of the students will be based on the written examination. It carries 75 percent of the total weightage. The types and number questions will be as per the test specification chart developed by the Curriculum Development Centre.
