District (Northwestern Province) (2001-2009), Mufulira Secondary School (Mufulira
District) (2010-2012) and former Copperbelt University graduate (2014-2018). Holder of
Bachelors degree of Science in mathematics Ed (B.Sc MA.Ed). Currently works as a
coordinator at Katangalele Tuition Centre Mufulira – Copperbelt Province.

MWANSA ENISTONE: Holder of Bachelor of Science in mathematics Education


(B.Sc MA.Ed) obtained from Victoria Falls University of Technology. Currently a head of
Mathematics at Katima Secondary School Western Province - Zambia.

Kachama Dickson C is the author of other materials such as High standards in Mathematics
Grade 12 paper 1 and paper 2, High standards in mathematics Grade 9 paper 1 and paper 2,
High standards in mathematics Classified learners Revision Book Grades 10 -12 and High
standards in Mathematics Grade 12 learners’ Book 1. These materials have contributed
positively to the improvement of performance in the subject countrywide.

For this reason, Mr Kachama D.C and Mr. Mwansa. E decided to make collaboration and
came up with this Additional Mathematics being the first and the best Additional
mathematics pamphlet.

“We believe, this pamphlet will be of great help to you even as you prepare for your

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We are most grateful to God Almighty for granting us this life, strength, grace and the
privilege to write the first junior secondary school mathematics pamphlet.

We will also remain indebted if we would not acknowledge the examination Council of
Zambia (ECZ) for the questions were adapted from the mathematics Past Examination papers
for the junior secondary school examinations. However, we wish to state that, the answers
given to the questions at the end of the questions are our own responsibility and not the ECZ.

. The completion of this Pamphlet was as a result of encouragement and support that we
received from many people and we will remain indebted to God if we do not acknowledge
these people.

We also wish to thank our fellow teachers of mathematics country wide for their support and
encouragement we received during the period of production of this document.

We further wish to acknowledge the following people for their constant supervision.

INTRODUCTION

HIGH STANDARDS IN ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS pamphlet is written to


prepare learners sitting for Additional mathematics Syllabus 4030. This pamphlet is
intended for revision purpose. It covers all the topics in Additional Mathematics paper 2
syllabus 4030 and aims at providing assistance to candidates who are about to sit for the
final examinations. This pamphlet contains the following:

Past examination questions from 2016−2019 for both internal and G.C.E which are
arranged according to the topics.
Model answers with working methods are given at the end.

To get the maximum benefit of this pamphlet, learners are strongly recommended to use
this pamphlet alongside basic text books for more information on various topics.

The questions are arranged in a systematic way making it possible for the learners to do
quick revisions per topic.

All the necessary working methods are shown at the end of the questions and this makes
it possible for the learners revise on their own. Learners therefore, are encouraged to
work out the questions on their own before they can check for the answers at the end.

Note also that, there can be alternative working methods to some of the questions; the
authors has tried by all possible means to use the method which they think will make
the majority of the learners understand and get the concept. “Remember, there are many
ways of killing a rat”

In conclusion, any noticeable errors that maybe found in this pamphlet are the
responsibility of the authors. The authors would appreciate to receive details of such
errors that may have escaped the scrutiny of the authors.

(a) (i) Total number of marbles = 3 + 7 = 10 marbles.


Since there are no restrictions, it means that we have the 10 marbles to be arranged
in a straight line.
10! = 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 ×× 1 = 36 28800 ways Ans
(ii) Note: If we place the 7 red marbles, this leaves 3 spaces to place the green marbles
between them. That is – $ − $ − $ − $ − $ − $ − $ −
We can observe that, there is only one way to place them.
→ There also 8 empty spaces to place the three green marbles that is C$ = 8C3 ways
to do this. By multiplication rule, we have 1 × 8C3 = 56 ways
(b) At least 4 girls
We have the following possibilities
4 girls → 2 boys
5 girls → 1 boy
6 girls → No boy
∴ the number of ways of choosing at least 4 girls = 8C2 × 6C4 + 8C1×6C5

QUESTION 3

(a) (i)Treating the number of girls as one student, we have 1 + 4 = 5.


→ Student to arrange = 5! = 120 ways

∴ the number of ways of putting girls in a straight line if girls are together

(ii) No two boys are together.

And so the number of ways when two boys are together = 40320 × 2 = 80640
