  Topics and Learning Areas Covered

  This holiday assignment thoroughly assesses learners across key strands, sub-strands, and competencies covered throughout the academic year:

  • Strand 1: Numbers and Algebra
    • Real Numbers: Classification of whole, prime, composite, rational and irrational numbers; reciprocals; and operations involving fractions and signed numbers.
    • Indices and Logarithms: Laws of indices, simplification of algebraic expressions involving positive and negative indices, common logarithms and conversion between exponential and logarithmic forms.
    • Quadratic Expressions and Equations: Expansion and simplification, factorisation, solving quadratic equations by factorisation and forming quadratic equations from word problems.
  • Strand 2: Measurements and Geometry
    • Similarity and Enlargement: Scale factors, corresponding lengths and relationships between the areas of similar figures.
    • Geometrical Transformations: Rotation of figures and interpretation of transformed positions.
    • Trigonometry: Applying trigonometric relationships to determine unknown sides or angles in suitable problems.
    • Areas of Polygons and Parts of a Circle: Calculating areas of polygons and circular regions using relevant measurements and formulae.
    • Vectors and Linear Motion: Working with vectors, representing directed quantities and applying vector relationships to linear-motion situations.
  • Strand 3: Statistics and Probability
    • Statistics: Interpreting data, performing statistical calculations and presenting or analysing statistical information.
    • Data Representation and Probability: Representing data, interpreting mathematical displays and solving probability problems.
  • Cross-cutting Mathematical Skills
    • Showing clear, logical working and presenting final answers accurately.
    • Using appropriate units and rounding answers only when required.
    • Interpreting figures and applying ruler, compasses, protractor and calculator skills where appropriate.
    • Translating practical situations into mathematical expressions and equations.
