PREPARATION FOR 2018 WAEC

Meeting Maths Challenge.
We have spent over ten years teaching mathematics in primary school, JSS,SSS and during this time I have never found any quick fixes or instant recipes for passing Mathematics in BECE and WASSCE. It is a subject which can be very demanding and tests ones ability to persevere.Meet these demands and the subject can become very rewarding.
How do you meet the challenge?
Arithmetic and Algebra are the key branches of mathematics.You have to be a master in both before you can do well in the other branches. These Branches of Mathematics are listed below.
• Arithmetic
• Algebra
• Geometry
• Trigonometry
• Statistics
• Calculus

Do not rely on reading alone or depend on all what you are getting from your school maths teacher.You must do questions. Even when you think you know how to do a topic, along comes a question which can be phrased in a way that you have never seen before and this may throw you. The more practice you have from different sources the more confident you will become when you face a strange question for the first time.Practice maths everyday!
Often you may read a question and feel that you cannot answer it, but don’t give in. Spend some time looking at the problem, jot down ideas even if you feel they might be wrong,draw diagrams to help bring out the problem and enable you to view it from a different perspective.

Look for similar examples in text books. Learn the methods involved. We all learn by copying so it is important to be able to copy a method and be able to relate it to the question you are attempting.It can often be a change of number or letter that is all that is needed. It maybe that one teacher/author may explain a question in a way that suits your way of thinking
Do not not only Learn how you can state a formula but also learn how you can evaluate a formula and how you can derived it.A formula can be evaluated by substituting the known values of the variables in the question into the formula.Another key point is how you can build up an equation using a formula.
Make sure that you are using all the information given in the question. A solution is very unlikely to be set that does not depend in some way on the parameters given.

Thanks for reading.
