The document outlines objectives for teaching indices mathematics to third-form students, focusing on defining indices, stating rules of indices, and applying these rules to solve problems accurately. It includes a brief introduction to indices and presents tasks to enhance understanding. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of mastering the laws of indices through examples and activities.
