    1. Take them to their grandparents: Grandparents are always excited to see their grandchildren and vice-versa. When you take them to their grandparents, you please both your grandparents and your children. You also get a vacation, where you can focus on work and getting enough rest before school resumes.
    2. Allow them to learn a second language: Learning  a second language will always be an added advantage in a world of growing career opportunities for few. Apart from that, it will boost their self-confidence and allow them to have a full perspective that allows them to see the world. You do yourself a great advantage when you let your kids learn a second language.
    3. Let them learn a digital skill: The world has become a digital palace; your children should no longer rely on traditional skills and roles. Make them suitable to the world by allowing them to learn digital skills like coding, writing and others. This will expose them to the world and also boost their self-confidence.
    4. Allow them to play and have fun: There are times that the mind of the child needs a break. They have probably been bombarded with learning and would want to just play and have fun. Let them play and have fun. Allow them to play with their siblings, neighbours and with the imaginary characters on TV. Playing boosts their imagination and creativity; and also allows them to improve on their social skills.

  • THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WRITING MATHEMATICS DURING WAEC AND JAMB EXPLAINED

    THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WRITING MATHEMATICS DURING WAEC AND JAMB EXPLAINED

    First of all, Mathematics is not difficult. The popular belief that says that mathematics is only made for geniuses is only a myth. Embrace the mindset that mathematics is as easy as drinking water and you might just start your path to all-round success. It all begins in the mind. Now, this is how to differentiate between writing Mathematics during WAEC and writing Mathematics during JAMB so you can apply each strategy of success to enable you pass both exams in one sitting.

    Writing Mathematics during JAMB means you are hoping to study a science/tech related course at the university; therefore, you already have a prior background of Mathematics and probably, Further Mathematics. Therefore, at this stage, JAMB is not trying to test whether you know Maths or not; JAMB is taking it a step further with you by testing your accuracy. JAMB wants to know how you can solve a mathematical equation in 20 seconds and get the correct answer. The ability to get the correct answers fast can only be gotten through consistent practice of past questions on the Afrilearn App.

    On the other hand, WAEC wants a fuller and detailed approach to their mathematics questions. Especially in the theory aspect of the exams, WAEC wants a step-by-step solution. So, you do not want to make the mistake of jumping to the answer in WAEC – show the steps you followed before you arrived at that answer. This is because the steps carry marks as well.

    Did you enjoy this? Don’t forget to download the Afrilearn App HERE (for Android users) and HERE (for iOS users).
