What objectives set c means

This practice set helps you handle mixed Core Maths objective questions quickly and carefully. You will work with number laws, simple equations, and standard form, which are common skills for exam revision.

What you will practise

  • Simplifying powers and applying index laws correctly
  • Solving simple linear equations for an unknown value
  • Writing small and large numbers in standard form
  • Choosing the correct answer from short WASSCE-style options

Before you start

You should already know basic arithmetic, the meaning of exponents, and how to move terms across an equation. You should also be comfortable with decimal place value.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Simplify 3⁴ ÷ 3².

  • 3
  • 9
  • 27
  • 81
Answer: 9

Working: 3⁴ ÷ 3² = 3^(4−2) = 3² = 9.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Adding exponents during division instead of subtracting them.
  • Changing signs wrongly when moving terms in a simple equation.
  • Placing the decimal point wrongly in standard form.
  • Forgetting that standard form needs a number between 1 and 10.
