# JAMB Mathematics ## First Principles of Core Competencies of JAMB Mathematics * Mathematics is the study of rules that govern numbers, shapes and patterns. * How these rules work together (compare) and how they are used (apply). * To solve mathematical problems (or any problem in general) you need to: * Understand how the rules connect or relate (theory). * Practice using the rules in different situations (application). * Remember: JAMB Mathematics focuses on solving problems with speed and accuracy. ## Practical Steps to Approach First Principles of JAMB Mathematics ### SIMPLIFY - First Principles of Core Competencies of JAMB Mathematics * JAMB Mathematics = Rules + Connections (Theory) + Usage (Application) + Speed + Accuracy ## Challenge Assumptions * "Do I need to memorize all formulas, or can I derive them logically?" * "Are there shortcuts to solve specific types of problems efficiently?" ## What is "JAMB Mathematics"? * JAMB Mathematics is a Nigerian entry-level exam for high school graduates, focusing on essential math skills for higher education. ## Why is "JAMB Mathematics Important?" * JAMB Mathematics is important for assessing the foundational math skills of Nigerian high school graduates for higher education. ## Core Competencies of JAMB Mathematics * The Core Competencies are given by abbrev, "AAGTCS". * Arithmetic * Algebra * Geometry * Trigonometry * Calculus * Statistics
