Objectives Set D
What objectives set d means
You practise short BECE-style Maths questions that test quick thinking and careful working. This helps you become faster and more accurate with the kinds of problems you meet in class tests and revision.
What you will practise
- Solve simple equations for the missing number
- Find averages from a small set of numbers
- Work out unit rates from distance and fuel questions
- Choose the correct answer under timed practice
Before you start
You should already be comfortable with basic arithmetic, including addition, subtraction, division and simple multiplication. You also need to know how to replace a letter with a number in a simple equation.

Worked example
One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.
Solve: x + 5 = 12.
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 17
Working: x = 12 − 5 = 7.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Changing the sign instead of doing the same operation on both sides
- Adding numbers first when the question asks for an average
- Forgetting to divide by the number of items or litres
- Using rough guesses instead of checking each step carefully
Curriculum and exam alignment
This kind of practice usually comes after core work on number operations, averages and simple algebra in Junior High School. It supports BECE revision by training you to answer objective questions neatly and quickly.
Curriculum notes are a general guide to where this work normally sits. Always check the syllabus your school or examination body is currently using.
