❖ Suggested approach methodology by the team for aspects that needs clarity.
Approach in class :
✓ Learners to have their scripts in class (Mid Year Exams , Trial Exams) to identify/recap
and understand learners weaknesses (misconceptions/mistakes).
✓ Recap/clarify the related core concepts with a view to address their challenges (guided
by the class Diagnostic Report).
✓ Same Test Questions can still be used as follows:
➢ Analysing the question (what is it all about, required knowledge and skills, what
principles/facts/definitions/laws are required) together with the learners.
➢ Generate/identify key information from the question to clarify the approach in
answering the question.
➢ Discuss with the learners the toolbox to answer the question ( Formular sheet,
method, theorem, standard form, etc)
➢ Allow learners to do/complete it once more and generate the first step of solution
together. 5
Approach to Consolidation

✓ Recap Key Concepts and generate Chalkboards Summary (About 20 – 30 min)


o Probe (Teacher to be fully prepared & Know what to ascertain) for
responses from learners
o Focus on Knowledge & Skills for each topic (Know & Skills to show) ;
o Clarify applicable Vocabulary/Comprehension.
✓ Short Focused Assessment (30 Minutes for Gap identify & Consolidation)
✓ Further Clarification/ Illustration of Concepts
✓ Ensure that various scenarios are catered for. Remaining Time
✓ Allow learners to practice (Drill & Practice)
Encourage the following:
Steps that learner should follow when answering questions:
No Diagram:
• Learners must read the given information with understanding (vocabulary
and instructions).
• Identify/highlight all the key words from the given information that could help
him/her to answer the questions that are to follow.
• Where applicable, a rough sketch can be drawn.
• Answering Questions : What to Know ; and what to show
Diagram Given:
• It is very easy when presented with a diagram think about possible questions
• Learners must read and understand the introductory sentences above the
diagram before trying to answer the question and make deduction(s).
• Answering Questions : What to Know ; and what to show 7
Be consistent with the following

Use of the formula sheet:


• Learners must know that the formula sheet will be provided in the Exam.

• Learners must know which formulas are in the formula sheet and which one
are not there, for each topic.

• Emphasize the need to copy the formula correctly from the formula sheet.

• Learners need to know that incorrect coping of the formula will result in them
forfeiting all the marks for that question.

• Learners must not manipulate the formula before the substitution.

• Marks will be awarded for Correct formula, correct substitution, and correct
answer.

2. Grade 12 Aspects :
• Equation of the circle (3) ,

Grade 10 – 12 : Core Skills in Analytical Geometry

The learners need to master the following:


1. Application of the distance formula, in calculating the distance between the
two points, in polygons or determine the coordinate when given the
Distance.
2. Determining the coordinates of the Mid-point of a polygon using the mid-
point formula or given the midpoint determine the end coordinate of the end
point.
3. Can use the Gradient formula to:
✓ Calculate the gradient (m) of a line segment, given two points or the
angle of inclination ( m = tan θ).
✓ Show if points are co-linear
✓ Find the inclination ( m = tanθ ).
4. Co-linear Points 13
Grade 10 – 12 : Core Skills in Analytical Geometry

5. Can determine the equation of a Straight Line and use the straight-line
equations to determine the point of intersection, etc.
There are two methods of determining the equation of a straight line joining
two points.
o The first method is to use the general equation in which m represents
the gradient and the value of c can be determined by substituting one of
the points on the line into this equation.
o The second method is to use the formula. All you have to do is now
substitute m and a point on the line into this formula and the equation of
the line is easily obtained.
6. Can apply the understanding of Parallel and Perpendicular lines, that is:
o Conclusion when two lines are parallel (equal gradient) or perpendicular
(m1 x m2 = - 1)
o Apply the understanding of this concept in various polygons
14
Grade 10 – 12 : Core Skills in Analytical Geometry

8. Determining the angles formed by intersecting lines

Quads: The learning of this aspects should include learners being able to draw
a specific quad and label it completely to understand its properties.
Learners must know how to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram,
rectangle, square, rhombus or trapezium by knowing the properties of these
quadrilaterals.
Triangles: Ensure that learners understand the three types of triangle and their
properties (Scalene, Equilateral and isosceles)
o Can use apply analytical method to prove a particular type of a tringle
including showing that a tringle is a Right angle or not (remember one can
either show through Pythagoras theorem or perpendicular lines).
NB: Basic transformation must be revised

must be aware that the center of the circle is the midpoint, thus the midpoint formula
would be applicable and also when
✓ Diameter give with two end points or the center & one end point
3. Learners should be able to differentiate between radius r and r2

CAST Diagram:

• Define the three trig ratios in the Cartesian plane (4 - Quadrant), in terms of
x, y & r (The hypotenuse (r) is all ways +ve in the four quadrants).

• Learners should demonstrate understand of the CAST diagram:


o All trigonometric ratios are positive in the first quadrant.
o Sin ɵ is +ve in the second quadrant, whereas Cos ɵ & Tan ɵ are -ve.
This implies (Sin ɵ > 0 and Cos ɵ < 0 & Tan ɵ < 0)
o Tan ɵ is +ve in the 3rd quadrant and whereas Cos ɵ & Sin ɵ are -ve.
This implies (Tan ɵ > 0, Cos ɵ < 0 & Sin ɵ < 0)
77

CAST Diagram:

• Cos ɵ is +ve in the fourth quadrant and where as Tan ɵ & Sin ɵ are -ve. This
implies (Cos ɵ > 0, Tan ɵ < 0 & Sin ɵ < 0)

• Demonstrate understanding and application of the restrictions like ,

90° ≤ 𝜃 ≤ 270° ; ∈ [90°; 270°].

• Position the Terminal arm in the correct quadrant be able to complete the Right
Angle Triangle, Label all the sides, including the angle.

• Learners need to remember that the reduction formulae are used to reduce the
trigonometric ratio of any angle to the trigonometric ratio of an acute angle.
• The learners should remember that:
(1) sin(180 + ) = − sin  but 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 180° + 𝜃) = (−𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃)2 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝜃

• The learners should remember or understand that:

(b) sin 𝜃 − 180°) = sin⁡(− 180° − 𝜃 ) = − sin 180° − 𝜃 ) = −𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃
Or
𝟑𝟔𝟎° could be added to the -ve angle and be treated as

sin 𝜃 − 180°) = sin⁡


(360° − 180° + 𝜃) = sin 180° + 𝜃 ) = −𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃
(Remember 3600 could be added to any – ve angles to change it positive)

Angles greater than 360

• Learners need to remember that whenever the angle is greater than 360 , keep
subtracting 360 from the angle until you get an angle in the interval  0 ;360 .
For example, tan 765 = tan(765 − 2(360)) = tan 45 = 1

✓ To determine the linear regression line:

o Determine the Mean Point (x; y) if x is the mean of the x values
and y is the mean for the y values. The line of best fit must pass
through this mean point.
o Determine the y - intercept and use it to guide the plot of the line
of best fit. You may not plot the y – intercept i.e. the line of best fit
is sketched between the Min and Max Point.
o Maintain the balance between the points above the regression line
and below the regression line. In case of the outliers, ignore it.
128
Statistics : Regression Line

• Using a Least Squares Regression Line to Make Predictions


✓ When a value for one of the variables that was not originally in the data is
found, you are making a prediction.
✓ The required value can be read off from the scatter plot or by using the
equation of the regression line. Predictions made from the equation of the
line can be made through the process of interpolation and extrapolation.
• Interpolation is a method of predicting/estimating new data value(s) within
the known range of data values.
• Extrapolation on the other hand is a method of estimating new data value(s)
beyond a discrete set of known data values.
Note: The data values that are the result of extrapolation from statistical data are
often less valid than those that are the result of interpolation. This is because the
values are often estimated outside the tabulated or observed range of data. 129
