Ésta es la segunda de las dos sesiones en las que te ayudaremos a preparar el primer examen, Paper 1, de IGCSE Mathematics. Nos centraremos en las siguientes secciones: ‘Geometry and trigonometry’, ‘Vectors and transformation geometry’ y ‘Statistics and probability’.
Hemos elegido un montón de preguntas (especialmente, varias muy difíciles) sobre los temas que van a caer en el examen. Según las indicaciones de Edexcel, esto es lo que tienes que saber…
Number:
-
- Fractions: fraction of an amount; use of the four rules.
- Powers and roots: HCF, LCM, surds.
- Set language and notation: complete a Venn diagram.
- Percentages: reverse percentage; compound interest; percentage of an amount.
- Ratio and proportion: divide a quantity into given ratios.
- Standard form: conversion.
- Other: bounds.
Algebra:
-
- Manipulation: expansion of brackets; indices; factorisation; algebraic fractions; completing the square; subject of a formula; indices; algebraic fractions and formulae.
- Equations: linear equations; quadratic equations; simultaneous equations, linear and quadratic; simultaneous equations, linear.
- Proportion: direct proportion.
- Inequalities: graphical representation; quadratic inequality.
Sequences, Functions and Graphs:
-
- Sequences: nth term of an arithmetic sequence; sum of arithmetic series.
- Functions: inverse functions; transformation of functions.
- Graphs: graphs of lines; parallel and perpendicular lines; transformations of functions; graphs of trigonometric functions.
- Calculus: linear kinematics.
Geometry and Trigonometry:
-
- Angles and shapes: angles in polygons; geometric reasoning.
- Measures: pressure; speed; unit conversion.
- Length, area, volume: volume of cylinder; volume of composite solid; area of a sector; area and perimter of composite shape; area and perimeter of circle.
- Pythagoras and trigonometry: Pythagoras’ theorem; trigonometry; sine and cosine rules.
Vectors and transformation geometry:
Statistics and probability:
-
- Diagrams: histogram; cumulative frequency diagram.
- Statistical measures: mode; median; mean; range.
- Probability: probability; expected frequency; probability tree diagram; conditional probability.
