Mathematics revision notes

BECE · JSS (BECE) · 3 topics

Every topic below is written for the BECE syllabus: what you need to know, the key terms, a worked example with the steps shown, and the mistake that costs candidates the mark.

• Numbers you must never mix up Most JSS marks are lost on place value, fractions and directed numbers — not on “hard” topics.
• Algebra, the quiet language If you can collect like terms and expand a bracket, half of JSS3 is already friendly.
• Shapes, area and the angle facts Write the formula first, then the numbers. Method marks live in that first line.
