Futher Mathematics

This WAEC/GCSE, ‘O’ Level Further Mathematics course outline, is meant as a general guide and is set out over twenty sessions. Please be aware that the depth and pace of the course content may be modified according to each student’s unique needs and prior knowledge. This plan presumes a foundational knowledge of Further Mathematics and may differ for students at various proficiency levels.

Furthermore, course content can be tailored to match the specific needs of each student or group, fostering a flexible learning environment that is accommodating for learners of all levels. As such, this guide can be adapted to suit both students undertaking the full course and those focusing on revision programs.
