    Frequently Asked Questions: CBC Mathematics Quizzes

    What is Mathematics in Kenya's CBC curriculum?
    Mathematics is a core learning area in the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) developed by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). It focuses on developing both knowledge and practical competencies. According to KICD curriculum designs, Mathematics helps students develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and values aligned with Kenya's national goals.
    How is Mathematics assessed in CBC?
    Mathematics assessment in CBC includes both formative (continuous) and summative evaluations. For Upper Primary (Grades 4-6), continuous assessment contributes 20% per grade, while the KPSEA examination at Grade 6 accounts for 40% of the final grade. For Junior Secondary (Grades 7-9), assessment includes school-based tests (20%), KPSEA component (20%), and the summative KJSEA examination (60%). Learn more from the Kenya National Examinations Council.
    What are the main strands in CBC Mathematics?
    CBC Mathematics is organized into distinct learning strands that progress from Lower Primary through Junior Secondary. Each strand covers specific competencies and learning outcomes aligned with KICD standards. Our quizzes cover all strands comprehensively, ensuring complete curriculum coverage as outlined in the official KICD curriculum framework.
