Indices: Solve exponential equations involving fractional and negative indices.
Logarithms: Apply the laws of logarithms. Use logarithm tables to perform multiplication, division, powers, and roots.
Set Theory: Define universal sets, subsets, complements, intersections, and unions. Solve practical real-world problems using 2-set and 3-set Venn diagrams.
Unit 3: Algebraic Expressions & Factoring
Expansion: Expand complex algebraic expressions up to three brackets.
Factorisation: Factorise quadratic expressions (ax² + bx + c) where a > 1. Factorise by grouping terms.
Algebraic Fractions: Simplify fractions. Perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on algebraic fractions.
📅 Term 2: Equations, Functions, & Trigonometry
Unit 4: Linear & Quadratic Equations
Simultaneous Linear Equations: Solve three-variable systems using substitution and elimination.
Quadratic Equations: Solve equations using factorisation, completing the square, and the quadratic formula
Word Problems: Convert real-life scenarios into quadratic or simultaneous linear equations.
Unit 5: Linear Inequalities
Linear Inequalities: Solve first-degree inequalities in one variable.
Graphical Representation: Plot inequality solutions on a number line. Graph two-variable inequalities on a Cartesian plane.
Unit 6: Coordinate Geometry & Trigonometry
Coordinate Geometry: Calculate the distance between two points, the midpoint of a line segment, and the gradient of a straight line.
Trigonometric Ratios: Apply Sine, Cosine, and Tangent (SOH-CAH-TOA) to right-angled triangles.

2D Sector Properties: Calculate the arc length, perimeter, and area of a sector or segment of a circle.
3D Solid Shapes: Calculate the surface area and volume of cones, spheres, pyramids, and composite shapes.
Unit 8: Logical Reasoning
Statements & Connectives: Identify true or false simple statements. Use logical connectives: implication (⇒), bi-implication (⇔), conjunction (⋀), and disjunction (⋁).
Truth Tables: Construct truth tables for compound statements. Determine the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of conditional statements.
Unit 9: Statistics & Year-End Revision
Data Presentation: Construct cumulative frequency tables and draw Ogives (cumulative frequency curves).
Measures of Central Tendency: Calculate the mean, median, and mode for grouped data using assumed mean methods.
