Year 10 Mathematical Methods.

2016 Semester One Examination Revision.

Information:
Topics: Algebra and Equations Real Numbers Trigonometry
Coordinate Geometry BiSection Method

Some Revision.

1) You are strongly advised to work through your semester one topic tests. They are an
excellent summary of each topic that was taught in this unit. A copy of the tests and a set of
solutions are available on MyConnect in the Revision folder.

2) The following questions should only be completed after working through the tests.
Topics: Algebra and Equations
Real Numbers
Trigonometry
Coordinate Geometry
BiSection Method
3) You will have access to last year’s examination for revision. This should be completed AFTER
all other revision as a timed resource and the assumption should not be made that the 2016
papers will be based on the 2015 papers as some topics have changed.
