In Vietnam, what is the grade at which the Mathematics program will include the exponentiation formula?

According to Section 4 of the General education program in Mathematics issued with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the outcomes required after completing the 6th-grade Mathematics program in Vietnam are as follows:

Operations with natural numbers. Exponentiation with natural number exponents

- Perform arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in the set of natural numbers.

- Apply commutative, associative, and distributive properties of multiplication over addition in calculations.

- Perform exponentiation with natural number exponents; perform multiplication and division of two powers with the same base with natural number exponents.

- Recognize the order of operations.

- Apply the properties of operations (including exponentiation with natural number exponents) to reasonably estimate and calculate quickly.

- Solve practical problems related to arithmetic operations (e.g., shopping cost calculations, calculating the quantity of goods purchased with available money, etc.).

Thus, the exponentiation formula is included in the 6th-grade Mathematics program.

3. Area of land on which schools or school clusters are constructed shall be determined on the basis of number of classes and students with an average of 10 m2 per student; regarding urban areas in mountainous regions, permit an average of 8 m2 per student due to limited land space in the center of such urban areas. Regarding boarding schools, land area where work items serving boarding must be 6 m2 per boarding student.

4. Floor areas for work items

a) Administration rooms shall comply with applicable regulations and law;

b) Studying rooms; studying assisting rooms; auxiliary rooms, playgrounds, sports quarters and general activities are specified under Annex III attached hereto.

5. Work items directly serving teaching and organizing education activities must not be taller than 4 storeys and ensure accessibility and usability for students with disabilities.

Under the above regulations, a lower secondary school in Vietnam shall have at least 08 classes and up to 45 classes.

Based on local conditions, may locate schools in different administrative divisions to enable students to go to schools. Situate no more than 2 school clusters, each shall have no less than 3 classes.

Thus, according to the above regulations, a secondary school has a minimum of 08 classes and a maximum of 45 classes.
