-triangle

1. Surds + Indices

-standard notation
-everything, addition, multiplication etc.

1. Graphs in practical situations

-All types of graphs – pie, step, travel etc.
-Rates – filling tanks etc
-variation+inverse variation

1. Equations

-All linear equations
-simultaneous
-changing the subject
-problem solving

-surdic equations

1. Quadratic equations

-Solve by: factorising, completing square, formulae
-How many solutions? i.e. square root b squared minus four a c
-Remember exact value is in surd form

-parallel/perpendicular
-lines parallel to x/y axis

1. Trigonometry

-sin cos tan only
-ONLY IN FIRST QUADRANT OF UNIT CIRCLE I.E up to 90 degrees
-bearings
-angles of elevations/depression
-reciprocal ratios
-complimentary ratios
-relationships between trig ratios
- IDENTITIES ARE EXTENTION – NOT IN TEST
-exact values
-Pythagoras
-exact values are only in first quadrant
- No ASTC

1. Measurement

–all units eg. cm, m, km
-prefixes
-sig figs
-rates i.e. Km/h
-perimeter/are in circles
-volume
-surface area of prisms, cylinder, sphere etc.

1. Basic Statistics

-nothing advanced
-NO STANDARD DEVIATION
