Frequently Asked Questions
Why does counting appear in almost every week?
The Lagos State scheme threads number range practice, counting, ordering, and writing numerals, through every topic, so pupils build fluency with larger numbers gradually across the term rather than in one isolated unit.
Does this scheme apply outside Lagos State?
This scheme follows the Lagos State Ministry of Education’s unified scheme of work. Other states may sequence Mathematics topics slightly differently, so check with your local Ministry of Education if you’re outside Lagos.
