Predictions for the calculator paper

Mr Williams — Mon, 18 May 2009 16:01:30 +0000

Dear all,

I hope the first paper went well, it seemed like a good paper with lots of very do-able questions.

I’ve been thinking about the second paper and what topics are likely to come up. The following list is what I think might (and I want to stress the word ‘might’) be in the second paper. I have included 25 topics as there are usually around 25 questions. Remember that this list is a GUESS and that is all. Do not restrict your revision to just these topics.

Number:

Fractions – adding, multiplying etc
Surds – rationalising the denominator
Calculations using bounds
Recurring decimals – a long shot for the calc paper – usually on the non calc
The reciprocal
Percentages – compound interest or repeated % change and reverse %
Ratios – sharing in a ratio
Rules for powers (indices)

Algebra:

A page of equations – the basics through to the quadratic formula
Simultaneous equations
Nth term patterns
Proof

Angles:

On parallel lines – learn the names of the rules
In polygons – learn the 360 degrees and the triangles rules
Bearings – measure clockwise from north – use the parallel lines

Shapes and Space:

Circles – Areas, circumferences, arc lengths and sector areas.
Dimensional Analysis – Identify volume, areas and lengths.
Similar shapes – particularly volume, area and lengths on similar shapes
Pythagoras and Trigonometry
Areas of shapes such as the triangle, trapezium and parallelogram and volumes and surface areas of solids such as cylinders, pyramids spheres etc
Vectors

Handling Data

Averages: mean, mode, median, range of data in tables including grouped data
Scatter graphs – lines of best fit
Stem and leaf or Box plots – I’m guessing there’ll be one not both
Sampling – stratified sampling

Best of luck in your revising and remember to come and ask for help if you need it!
