Pakistan HSSC-I Mathematics Dataset

Pakistan HSSC-I Mathematics Dataset

Overview

The Pakistan HSSC-I Mathematics Dataset is an instruction-following dataset built from Higher Secondary School Certificate Part-I (HSSC-I / Grade 11) mathematics problems. The dataset is intended to support research in educational AI, supervised fine-tuning (SFT), mathematical reasoning, question answering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and natural language processing.

Dataset Format

Each record is stored as a text based instruction following example suitable for supervised fine-tuning.

Typical records include:

• An instruction

• A mathematics problem

• A response containing a solution or answer

Example:

### Instruction:
Help me answer this question.

Find the value of sin (1005°).

### Response:
Using the periodicity of the sine function, reduce the angle by multiples of 360° and evaluate the resulting expression.

Another example:

### Instruction:
Find the sum of the first 20 terms of the geometric progression

0.15, 0.015, 0.0015 ...

### Response:
Apply the finite geometric series formula using the given first term, common ratio, and number of terms.

How the Dataset Was Obtained

The dataset was created by curating Grade 11 mathematics questions from educational materials available to the dataset creator and transforming them into a consistent instruction-following format suitable for machine learning research.

The preparation process included:

• collecting mathematics questions;

• converting them into instruction-response examples;

• organizing examples into a consistent schema;

• performing basic formatting and normalization;

• exporting the data to Apache Parquet format;

• creating predefined train, validation, and test splits.
