The Ethiopian Old Curriculum Grade 11 Mathematics Teacher’s Guide is organized into 11 comprehensive units. Each unit equips teachers with instructional strategies, concept explanations, active learning methods, and evaluation tools.

Unit 1: Further on Relations and Functions

This unit revisits foundational concepts in relations and functions. Teachers are guided through the classification of different function types, composition of functions, and how to visualize inverse functions graphically. Emphasis is placed on connecting abstract algebraic forms with real-world interpretations and problem-solving approaches.

Unit 2: Rational Expressions and Rational Functions

In this unit, instructors help students simplify rational expressions, solve rational equations, and analyze rational functions. Pedagogical strategies include using visual aids and technology to explain asymptotic behavior and graph interpretation.

Unit 3: Coordinate Geometry

Teachers guide learners through the properties of straight lines and conic sections. This unit strengthens algebraic manipulation and spatial visualization skills. Real-world applications are embedded through geometry problems that require both symbolic and graphical analysis.

Unit 4: Mathematical Reasoning

Designed to cultivate logical thinking, this unit introduces basic logic, truth tables, and argument structures. Teachers help students identify valid reasoning patterns, assess the structure of mathematical proofs, and construct logical statements—key skills for abstract mathematics.

Unit 5: Statistics and Probability

This unit provides teachers with tools to guide students in collecting, organizing, and interpreting data. Topics include measures of central tendency, dispersion, and elementary probability concepts. Real-life examples are used to make statistics accessible and relevant.

Unit 6: Matrices and Determinants

Teachers explore with students how to perform operations on matrices, compute determinants, and solve systems of linear equations using matrix methods such as Cramer’s Rule. Conceptual instruction is supported by step-by-step matrix manipulation techniques.

Unit 7: The Set of Complex Numbers

This unit introduces the concept of complex numbers as extensions of the real number system. Educators guide students through arithmetic operations, complex conjugates, modulus, and the representation of complex numbers on the Argand diagram, including polar forms.

Unit 8: Vectors and Transformation of the Plane

This unit combines vector operations with geometric transformations. Teachers support students in understanding vector representation, scalar products, and the transformation of geometric figures in the plane. Emphasis is placed on applications in physics and engineering contexts.

Unit 9: Further on Trigonometric Functions

Building on earlier trigonometry lessons, this unit covers secant, cosecant, and cotangent functions, their inverses, and transformations. Teachers are equipped to show students how to model real-life periodic behavior using trigonometric equations and graphs.

Unit 10: Introduction to Linear Programming

Teachers introduce optimization methods through systems of linear inequalities. Using graphical methods, students explore how to identify feasible regions, optimize objectives, and apply these concepts to real-world resource allocation problems.

Unit 11: Integrative Tools and Conceptual Synthesis

This final unit brings together earlier mathematical themes through cumulative review activities, project tasks, and teacher-led discussions. It offers instructional tips for preparing students for national exams and applying mathematical reasoning in varied contexts.
