Curriculum topic changes: MathsThe main change across the FET phase is that most of the work covered previously in the optional Paper 3 is now included in the core Maths curriculum. These sections are: Euclidean Geometry and Probability. To allow for this Linear Programming, Transformational Geometry and Recursive Sequences have been removed from the curriculum.

Grade 10:

a) NEW FOR TRIG: The reciprocal trig functions are introduced. Derive the values of the trig functions for the special angles 0˚; 30˚; 45˚; 60˚; 90˚.

Grade 11:

Geometry – NEW: Geometry of circles is covered, including tangent theorems.

Statistics – NEW: Bivariate data has moved to Gr 12.

Probability – NEW: Identify dependent & independent events; Use Venn diagrams, contingency tables and Tree diagrams to solve probability problems.

Grade 12:

Geometry – NEW: The geometry of similar triangles is covered, including Pythagorean Theorem proved by similarity.

Probability – NEW: Fundamental counting principles are covered and then incorporated into probability problems.

Algebra – NEW: Remainder & factor theorem covered.

Statistics – NEW: Bivariate data studied, including scatter plots; regression lines and correlation coeffi cients.
