About Course

This comprehensive General Mathematics course on StuNet Gambia is carefully designed to support high school students (Grades 10–12) as well as private candidates preparing for the West African Examinations Council (WASSCE).

The course strictly follows the official WAEC curriculum, ensuring that learners gain the exact knowledge, skills, and exam techniques required to excel in their final examinations.

Students will explore key mathematical topics including:

Number systems and operations
Algebraic expressions and equations
Geometry and trigonometry
Statistics and probability
Sets, sequences, and functions

Through structured video lessons, step-by-step explanations, worked examples, and practice exercises, learners will develop strong problem-solving abilities and confidence in tackling WASSCE-style questions.

This course is ideal for:

Students preparing for internal school exams
WASSCE candidates aiming for top grades
Private candidates seeking a complete and guided revision program

By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in mathematics, improved analytical thinking skills, and the confidence needed to succeed in both exams and real-life applications.

Course Content

Number systems and operations
Number Systems and Operations – Summary This topic introduces students to the different types of numbers and how they are used in mathematics. It forms the foundation for solving problems in algebra, geometry, and everyday life. Students will learn about the main number systems, including: Natural numbers (counting numbers) Whole numbers (including zero) Integers (positive and negative numbers) Rational numbers (fractions and decimals) Irrational numbers (non-repeating decimals like √2) Real numbers (all rational and irrational numbers combined) The topic also covers basic operations such as: Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Learners will understand how to apply these operations correctly using the order of operations (BODMAS) and how to work with fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratios. By the end of this topic, students will be able to: Identify and classify different types of numbers Perform accurate calculations using various operations Solve real-life problems involving numbers Build a strong mathematical foundation for advanced topics

Natural numbers (counting numbers)
1. Definition Natural numbers are the numbers used for counting objects. They are also known as counting numbers. The set of natural numbers is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, … They start from 1 and continue infinitely. 2. Key Features of Natural Numbers They are positive whole numbers. They do not include zero (in basic definitions). They do not include fractions or decimals. They do not include negative numbers. They continue forever (there is no largest natural number). 3. Examples of Natural Numbers 1, 2, 3, 10, 25, 100, 1000 Real-life examples: 6 students in a classroom → 6 is a natural number 15 mangoes in a basket → 15 is a natural number 3 cars in a parking lot → 3 is a natural number 4. Uses of Natural Numbers Natural numbers are used in everyday life for: Counting objects (books, people, animals) Ordering (1st, 2nd, 3rd positions) Basic calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) 5. Operations with Natural Numbers a) Addition Natural numbers can be added to get another natural number. Example: 4 + 3 = 7 b) Subtraction Subtraction is only valid if the answer remains a natural number. Example: 9 − 5 = 4 But: 3 − 7 is not a natural number c) Multiplication Multiplying natural numbers gives another natural number. Example: 5 × 2 = 10 d) Division Division is only valid if the result is a whole number. Example: 12 ÷ 3 = 4 But: 7 ÷ 2 is not a natural number 6. Representation on a Number Line Natural numbers can be shown on a number line starting from 1 and increasing to the right: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → … Each step represents an increase of 1. 7. Important Notes Natural numbers begin from 1, not 0. They are part of a larger group called integers. They are the foundation of mathematics, especially for beginners. 8. Comparison with Other Number Types Natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4 Whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3 Integers: … -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 9. Summary Natural numbers are the basic counting numbers starting from 1. They are used in everyday life to count, order, and perform simple calculations. They are positive, do not include fractions or negative values, and continue infinitely.
