Mathematics

This course outline is a general guide for a WAEC/GCSE ‘O’ Level Mathematics course spread across twenty sessions. It is important to note that the pace and depth of content covered in each session may need to be adjusted based on the student’s specific needs and prior knowledge. This layout assumes a basic understanding of the subject; hence, the curriculum might vary for beginners or more advanced students.

Furthermore, the structure of the course can be flexibly adjusted to meet the unique requirements of each student or group, ensuring that all learners can successfully achieve their potential in the subject. This individualised approach ensures that students are adequately supported and challenged throughout the course.
