🧠 STUDY GUIDE FOR NECO BECE MATHEMATICS (JUNIOR SECONDARY)

1. Numbers and Numeration

 Whole Numbers: Understand place values, rounding, estimation, and operations (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division).

 Fractions: Learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. Convert improper fractions to mixed
numbers and vice versa.

 Decimals: Practice decimal operations and converting between decimals and fractions.

 Percentages: Convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages. Calculate percentage


increase/decrease, and solve real-life problems.

 Ratio & Proportion: Solve problems involving direct proportion and simple ratios. Scale problems
included.

 Indices (Exponents): Understand laws of indices like multiplying and dividing powers, zero and negative
indices.

 LCM & HCF: Use prime factorization and listing methods to find the Lowest Common Multiple and
Highest Common Factor.

2. Algebraic Processes

 Simple Equations: Solve linear equations like 2x+3=112x + 3 = 112x+3=11.

 Substitution: Evaluate algebraic expressions by replacing variables with given values.

 Algebraic Simplification: Expand and simplify algebraic expressions.

 Number Sequences: Identify patterns in number sequences and find the next terms.

3. Geometry and Mensuration

 Plane Shapes: Understand properties of squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles (perimeter and area).

 Solid Shapes: Learn to identify and calculate surface areas and volumes of cubes, cuboids, and cylinders.

 Angles: Study types of angles and how to calculate unknown angles in triangles and quadrilaterals.

 Perimeter and Area: Use formulas for square, rectangle, triangle, and circle.

 Volume: Use appropriate formulas for calculating volumes of regular solids like cubes and cuboids.
4. Measurement

 Time: Convert between hours, minutes, and seconds. Read and calculate time intervals.

 Length, Mass, and Capacity: Convert between units (e.g., cm to m, g to kg). Solve word problems
involving these units.

 Temperature: Read temperature values and interpret temperature rise or fall.

 Speed, Distance, and Time: Use the formula Speed=DistanceTime\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\


text{Time}}Speed=TimeDistance to solve related problems.

5. Statistics

 Data Collection & Representation: Interpret and draw bar charts, pie charts, and pictograms.

 Mean, Median, and Mode: Calculate measures of central tendency for simple data sets.

 Frequency Tables: Interpret frequency distribution and use it to find mean, mode, etc.

6. Business Mathematics

 Profit and Loss: Understand and calculate profit, loss, cost price, selling price, and percentage gain or
loss.

 Simple Interest: Use the formula SI=P×R×T100\text{SI} = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}SI=100P×R×T to
calculate interest.

 Discount and Commission: Calculate percentage discounts and commissions using real-life examples.

7. Everyday Arithmetic & Word Problems

 Application of Arithmetic: Solve problems based on money, shopping, and sharing.

 Rates and Proportions: Solve practical problems involving rates (e.g., fuel consumption, work rate).

 Probability: Understand basic probability as a measure of chance, using simple events like drawing from
a bag.

8. Logical Reasoning and Sets

 Set Notation and Venn Diagrams: Understand union, intersection, and complements using Venn
diagrams.

 Logic: Basic problem-solving using logical statements and arithmetic reasoning.
