2010 GCE-N Level Mathematics Paper 2
My dearest 4C and 4D pupils,
Please focus your attention to the following topics:
(Note: this is just a guide to help you to be more focussed in your revision. It is in no way a guarantee match of Thursday's paper)
To help you further, I will be using the following colour codes: blue - very likely topic, red - no need to study already
VERY LIKELY TOPICS
1. Percentages – problems involving percentages
To help you further, I will be using the following colour codes: blue - very likely topic, red - no need to study already
VERY LIKELY TOPICS
1. Percentages – problems involving percentages
2. Applications of Mathematics in practical situations – compound interest, taxation, money exchange, etc.
3. Functions and Graphs – graphs of quadratic functions and their properties, sketching quadratic graphs including maximum/minimum point, line of symmetry, where the graphs cut the x an y axes, AND for sure one big question on drawing graph on graph paper and finding information from the graph for example estimation of gradient of the curve by drawing a tangent, etc.
4. Solutions of equations and inequalities – simultaneous equations, solving inequalities such as 3x < 7, complete square etc and some simple algebra
5. Angles – vertically opposite angles, adjacent angles on a straight line, adjacent angles at a point, angles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal: corresponding, alternate and interior angles.
6. Congruence and similarity – solving simple problems involving similarity and congruence.
7. Properties of Circles – angle and symmetry properties of circles
8. Pythagoras’ Theorem and Trigonometry – use of Pythagoras’ Theorem, sine and cosine rules, bearings, angle of elevation/depression, area of triangle = half a b sin C
9. Mensuration – volume and total surface area, radian measure: use of radian measure of angle, length of arc, area of sector, area of segment
10. Coordinate Geometry – finding gradient/equation of a straight line given two points, y = mx + c. (No need to learn distance between two points)
11. Statistics – range, interquartile range, standard deviation, mode and median, cumulative frequency, box-and-whisker plots, stem-and-leaf, dot diagram, histogram
12. Probability of simple combined events (using possibility diagrams, tree diagrams)
NO NEED TO STUDY
1. Prime factorization - H.C.F. / L.C.M.
2. Standard form – Mega, Giga, Terra, micro, nano, pico
3. Ratio, Rate and Proportion – y = kx where k is a constant
4. Distance/Speed/Time
5. Algebraic fractions
6. Scale drawings, scale and maps
7. Angle Properties of Polygons
8. Pie Chart
9. ConstructionsHope that this analysis will help you to be more focussed in your revision.
Do your best, let GOD do the rest.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Ng Song Seng
