ICSE Mathematics (Grade 9)
- Description
- Curriculum
The curriculum of ICSE focuses on the overall development of the students and encourages them to think creatively. It gives the best possible teaching and training to students. The board also believes in encouraging students to become independent learners and think out of the box. It provides its students with important life skills such as communication, problem-solving, and decision-making which helps them prepare for higher education and the real world. The proposed curriculum includes the study of number system, algebra, geometry, mensuration, etc., imparted through various activities like use of pictures, puzzles, etc.,
Our Approach to Teaching and Learning:
We follow the 5 step process depicted in the picture below.
