BECE 2023: Confirmed Core Mathematics Topics

The 2023 BECE is just a few months away. Abreast yourself with these confirmed Mathematics topics for the 2023 BECE.

Mathematics is an essential subject that teaches us how to solve problems using logical and analytical thinking. It is a subject that can be challenging but rewarding.

Every year, the West African Examination Council (WAEC) sets questions for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) that test students’ understanding of mathematics.

In 2023, the BECE will cover several core mathematics topics that are important for students to study and understand.

One of the key topics that students will encounter in the 2023 BECE is “Sets and Operations of Set.” This topic will require students to understand the concepts of sets, subsets, and elements, as well as the union, intersection, and complement of sets.

Another essential topic that students will be tested on is “Statistics and Probability.” This topic will require students to understand how to analyze data, calculate measures of central tendency, and interpret graphs. Students will also need to understand probability concepts such as independent and dependent events, conditional probability, and tree diagrams.

“Transformations” is another topic that students will encounter in the 2023 BECE. This topic will require students to understand how to perform translations, reflections, and rotations of geometric figures.

“Constructions” is another important topic that students will encounter in the 2023 BECE. This topic will require students to understand how to use a compass and straightedge to construct geometric figures such as triangles and circles.

“Vectors and Bearing” is another essential topic that students will need to understand. This topic will require students to understand the properties of vectors and how to add, subtract, and multiply vectors. They will also need to understand how to use bearings to find the direction of an object.
