A needs analysis was conducted to identify the current requirements and preferences of students for the development of a Circle Kit for Form 2 Mathematics topics. The research involved a random selection of secondary schools from Kedah, Perlis, and Johor, with 90 Mathematics teachers chosen through purposive sampling to serve as the study’s samples. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected using the Needs Analysis Questionnaire (NAQ) as the survey instrument, and the data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that 95.5% of the respondents acknowledged the need for a Circle Kit specifically tailored for Form 2 Mathematics. Moreover, a substantial majority, 75.4%, identified the Circle topic as the primary focus requiring attention in the development of the Circle Kit. Specifically, this study focuses on key aspects such as content, activities, assessment, and materials to optimise the effectiveness of the Circle Kit. In terms of content, 70.1% of teachers advocate for the inclusion of a comprehensive user guide to facilitate its use. For activities, 60.8% of teachers emphasise the importance of incorporating group tasks to foster student collaboration and teamwork. Regarding assessment, 62.4% support a flexible approach that integrates both individual and group evaluations. Lastly, 73.2% of teachers stress the significance of using hands-on materials to enhance learning experiences and increase student engagement. These findings will guide the design and implementation of the Circle Kit, ensuring it better supports Mathematics education. The development of the Circle Kit, specifically tailored for the Circle topic in Form 2 Mathematics, is crucial to improving teaching and learning outcomes. This study recommends that the design of the Circle Kit emphasise essential characteristics, including the integration of relevant content, engaging and interactive activities, the use of appropriate materials, and the incorporation of effective assessment methods. These elements are vital to fostering a comprehensive and dynamic learning experience for students.
