 INTRODUCTION

High Standards in Mathematics: Grade 9 pamphlet is written to prepared learners who

are about to write the Junior Secondary leaving examinations in mathematics (402). This
pamphlet is intended for revision purposes. It covers all the topics in mathematics paper 1
and aims at providing assistance to candidates who are about to sit for their final
examinations. This pamphlet contains the following.

Past examination questions from 2014 – 2019 for both internal and external.
Model answers with working methods where necessary.

To get the maximum benefit of this pamphlet, learners are strongly recommended to use
this pamphlet alongside basic text books for more information on various topics.

The questions are arranged in a systematic way making it possible for the learners to do
quick revisions per topic.

All the necessary working methods are shown at the end of the questions and this makes
it possible for the learners revise on their own. Learners therefore, are encouraged to
work out the questions on their own before they can check for the answers at the end.

Note also that, there can be alternative working methods to some of the questions; the
authors tried by all possible means to use the method which they considered to be easy
and will make the majority of the learners understand and get the concept. “Remember,
there are many ways of killing a rat”

In conclusion, any noticeable errors that maybe found in the questions and answers
in this pamphlet are the responsibility of the authors. The authors would appreciate
to receive details of such errors that may have escaped the scrutiny of the authors.
