Below are some topics that me and my friends come out with after
the paper 1. Hope it is useful.
Not sure where to post, here or AA. if you know of anyone that may
benefit from this please tell them.
Paper 2 Topics
Emphasize on the following topics but Do not forget about tested
topics that came out in paper 1.
A. Algebra
1. Problems sums on Quadratic equations, using the formula:
2. Algebra:
a. Changing subject of formula (When taking square root, answer
must be in both positive and negative value)
b. Algebraic Fractions (You are not expected to expand the
denominator)
c. Simultaneous Equations and Indices
B. Geometry
1. Area of similar Triangles, Volumes of Geometrically Similar
Solids
2. Congruent Triangles (SSS, SAS, AAS, RHS)
3. Angle Properties Of Circle
a. Add your own line
4. Line Symmetry (Graph ) and Rotational Symmetry (Graph Centre
intersection of diagonal and order of rotation)
C. Mensuration
1. Surface Area and Volume of Sphere, Cone, Pyramid,
Cylinder
2. Beware of figure within a figure.
D. Trigonometry
1. Sine Rule
a. Use when given
b. 1 set of angle and side, find the other angle/side given the
corresponding side/angle.
c. 2 angles 1 side and ask to find other sides.
2. Cosine Rule
a. Use when given
b. 3 sides find any angles
c. 2 sides and included angle fine the other side
3. TOA, CAH, SOH
4. 3D Problems
5. Bearings (Angle of Elevation and Depression)
E. Graphical Solutions
1. Graphical Methods:
a. Plotting graph of functions (Make use of phantom points)
b. Finding gradients given x value (draw tangent at x value and
calculate)
c. Finding x value given gradient (draw tangent with gradient then
slide)
d. Solving equations using graphical methods change new equation
to curve equation then solve simultaneously.
2. Inequalities (Linear & Graphical (quadratic equation)
representation of Inequalities)
F. Statistic
1. Histogram (based on Frequency Densities)
2. Mean, Mode and Median
3. Stem & Leaf Diagram
4. Dot Diagram
G. Simple Probability
1. Tree Diagram
2. Possibility Diagram
H. Vectors
1. When finding ratio of 1 triangle over another, determine whether
they are similar triangles, same base triangles or same height
triangles.
I. Transformations
1. Translation
2. Shearing
3. Stretching
4. Find shear/stretch factors given objects and images
points
