This document outlines a plan to compact the mathematics curriculum for Form 2 students in Malaysia in 2010. It lists topics that will no longer be taught, additional topics, and suggested activities. Key points include removing some computation topics and focusing more on concepts like transformations, loci, and solid geometry through exploration with technology and hands-on models.
