TOPICS
FUNCTIONS
1. Candidates must be able to use and interpret functional notation. In the teaching process
knowledge of linear patterns can be tested in the context of quadratic number patterns.
1. Understand the difference between nominal and effective interest rates and convert fluently
between them for the following compounding periods: monthly, quarterly and half-yearly or
semi-annually.
2. With the exception of calculating i in the Fv and Pv formulae, candidates are expected to
ALGEBRA
5. Nature of the roots will be tested intuitively with the solution of quadratic equations and in
DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS
• Discuss the nature of stationary points including local maximum, local minimum and points
of inflection.
3. Candidates are expected to be able to draw and interpret the graph of the derivative of a
function.
5. Candidates must know the formulae for the surface area and volume of the right prisms.
6. If the optimisation question is based on the surface area and/or volume of the cone, sphere
and/or pyramid, a list of the relevant formulae will be provided in that question. Candidates
PROBABILITY
1. Dependent events are examinable but conditional probabilities are not part of the syllabus.
3. Questions that require the learner to count the different number of ways that objects may
be arranged in a circle and/or the use of combinations are not in the spirit of the curriculum.
4. In respect of word arrangements, letters that are repeated in the word can be treated as the
regard.
NB:
MERCY!!!!!
“Where to Start Maths and Science tutoring” is aiming at assisting learners with
understanding of basic skills for Maths and Sciences and also changes the stigma of learners
towards Maths and Science subjects, we also help Schools around KZN and even to other
provinces.
