Builds on linear inequalities from Sec 2, covering systems of inequalities in one and two variables, solution sets on number lines and graphs, and real-life problem applications.
Introduces and applies the laws of indices to simplify expressions, including zero and negative indices. Also includes solving equations involving indices and standard form notation.
Covers calculation of midpoint, distance between two points, and gradients. Students learn to derive the equation of a straight line and solve geometric problems using coordinate methods.
Students are introduced to the concept of functions, domain and range, and graphical representations of linear and quadratic functions. Emphasis is placed on plotting, interpreting, and using graphs to solve problems.
Explores the criteria for triangle congruency (SSS, SAS, ASA, RHS) and similarity (AA, SSS, SAS). Students apply these to solve geometric problems and prove properties of figures.
Extends trigonometric knowledge to include trigonometric identities, applications involving non-right-angled triangles, and solving problems using the sine and cosine rules.
Applies trigonometry to real-world contexts including 3D problems, bearings, and angles of elevation and depression. Students interpret and solve word problems using diagrams.
Covers geometric properties related to circles including angles at the centre, angles in the same segment, cyclic quadrilaterals, perpendiculars from centre to chord, and tangents. Used to prove and solve angle problems in circle diagrams.
Learn the properties of tangents to circles, including equal tangent lengths from a point and perpendicularity of tangent and radius. Apply arc and chord relationships to solve complex diagrams.
