Senior Secondary Oxford Mathematics for the New Century

Introduction

DSE Sketch it Out Practice is specially designed in accordance with ‘Senior Secondary Oxford Mathematics
for the New Century’ Series. It aims to help students tackle problems on coordinate geometry in which figures
are not given. It covers topics from basic concepts (e.g. points and lines) to complicated questions (e.g. circles
and centres of triangles).

Each chapter consists of the following parts:

(i) Example — guided example with ‘Points to Note’

(ii) Instant Drill — questions similar to the example for students to try

(iii) Integrated Exercise — questions which require several skills learnt in the examples

Listed below are the topics of DSE Sketch it Out Practice.
