E Maths Examinations Trends
How secondary Math tutors view the recent examination trends?
Solve real world problems with Mathematics
The trend in E math examinations have revealed that examiners are looking beyond student’s ability to merely apply whatever they have learnt in the paper. They are testing students on how mathematical concepts can be used to solve real world problems and how students are able to overcome it using mathematics.
