Sample Mathematics questions, answered.

Taken straight from the papers below — one from each of the most recent years, with the answer marked and the reasoning written out.

JSSCE Mathematics 2026 · Question 1
Mary added the number of pages of all her JSS3 textbooks and the total is 999,999,999,995. Write the number of the pages in words.
  1. Nine hundred and ninety-nine trillion, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-five
  2. Nine hundred and ninety-nine billion, ninety trillion, ninety-nine thousand and ninety-five
  3. Nine hundred and ninety-nine billion, nine hundred and ninety-nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-five — correct answer
  4. Ninety-nine million, ninety-nine thousand and ninety-five
Worked solution
Group the digits in threes: 999, 999, 999, 995 = 999 billion, 999 million, 999 thousand, 995.
JSSCE Mathematics 2026 · Question 2
Find the product of the H.C.F of these two sets of numbers: 9, 12, 15 and 24; and 9, 12 and 15.
  1. 27
  2. 3
  3. 9 — correct answer
  4. 6
Worked solution
HCF of 9, 12, 15, 24 = 3; HCF of 9, 12, 15 = 3. Product =3×3=9= 3\times 3 = 9.
JSSCE Mathematics 2025 · Question 1
The interior angles of a pentagon are (x−3)∘(x-3)^\circ, (2x+9)∘(2x+9)^\circ, (x+10)∘(x+10)^\circ, (x+4)∘(x+4)^\circ and (2x+2)∘(2x+2)^\circ. Find the value of xx.
  1. 60∘60^\circ
  2. 90∘90^\circ
  3. 74∘74^\circ — correct answer
  4. 130∘130^\circ
Worked solution
Sum of interior angles of a pentagon =540∘=540^\circ. 7x+22=540⇒7x=518⇒x=747x+22=540 \Rightarrow 7x=518 \Rightarrow x=74.
JSSCE Mathematics 2024 · Question 1
John read different History books totaling 56,458,721,602 pages. Write the number of pages in words.
  1. Five billion, six hundred and forty-five million, eight hundred and sixty-two thousand, one hundred and sixty-two
  2. Fifty-six million, four hundred and fifty-eight thousand, seven hundred and twenty-one thousand and sixty-one
  3. Fifty-six billion, four hundred and fifty-eight million, seven hundred and twenty-one thousand, six hundred and two — correct answer
  4. Five hundred and six trillion, seven hundred and twenty billion, six hundred and two
Worked solution
Group in threes: 56, 458, 721, 602 = fifty-six billion, four hundred and fifty-eight million, seven hundred and twenty-one thousand, six hundred and two.
JSSCE Mathematics 2023 · Question 1
Last week, Remi worked 10 more hours than Kunle. If they worked a combined total of 84 hours, how many hours did Kunle work last week?
  1. 24
  2. 35
  3. 37 — correct answer
  4. 48
Worked solution
Let Kunle's hours be kk. Then k+(k+10)=84k + (k+10) = 84, so 2k=742k = 74 and k=37k = 37.

How JSSCE Mathematics is set.

JSSCE (Junior WAEC / BECE) sets 50 questions in Mathematics, answered in 60 minutes — about 72 seconds a question. Practising against that clock is the part most candidates skip, and it is the part that costs marks.

We hold 318 published Mathematics questions spanning 2023 to 2026. You can practise any single year’s paper, or sit a full timed mock that mirrors the real interface — the navigator, the flags and the auto-submit included.

Every question you get wrong comes back the next day, then at longer gaps until it sticks, and your home page leads with your weakest subjects.
