The essential chapter ideas in a clear sequence before practice.
Mark every given on the diagram and state the target clearly. Start from a relationship that connects exactly those quantities.
Every geometric step needs a property, theorem, or definition. A result without justification is not a complete proof.
Length, area, volume, and angle use different units. Round only at the end and keep sufficient intermediate precision.
Draw and label every given before choosing a property or formula. Finish with estimation, an inverse operation, or substitution as a check.

Mathematics
Follow the method step by step and check why every step is valid.
A right triangle has perpendicular sides 15 cm and 20 cm. Find its hypotenuse and area.
Hypotenuse 25 cm, area 150 cm².
Before calculating, explain the key idea from “Linear graphs” and which conditions must be checked.
The answer should show not only which rule is used for “Linear graphs”, but also why it is valid here.
Graphs and coordinate geometry
Eight graded tasks from core fluency to exam-style application. Work independently before opening a hint or answer.
A 3 cm by 5 cm rectangle: find perimeter and area.
P = 2(l+w), A = lw.
P = 16 cm, A = 15 cm².
A triangle has base 12 cm and height 2 cm. Find its area.
A = 1/2 bh.
A = 1/2 · 12 · 2 = 12 cm².
Two angles in a triangle are 90° and 40°. Find the third.
Triangle angles sum to 180°.
50°.
A right triangle has legs 18 cm and 24 cm. Find the hypotenuse.
Use a²+b²=c².
30 cm.
A circle has radius 3 cm. Find circumference and area in terms of π.
C = 2πr, A = πr².
C = 6π cm, A = 9π cm².
Scale 1:400. What real length in metres does 5 cm represent?
Multiply in cm, then convert to metres.
5 · 400 = 2000 cm = 20 m.
A cuboid is 7 cm × 2 cm × 9 cm. Find its volume.
V = lwh.
V = 126 cm³.
Points A(0,0) and B(3,4). Find AB.
AB = √(Δx²+Δy²).
AB = √25.
Graphs and coordinate geometry
Six distinct assignments from core fluency to challenge, each with an estimated time, hint, and answer guide.
Homework 1: A 6 cm by 6 cm rectangle: find perimeter and area.
P = 2(l+w), A = lw.
P = 24 cm, A = 36 cm².
Homework 2: A triangle has base 27 cm and height 3 cm. Find its area.
A = 1/2 bh.
A = 1/2 · 27 · 3 = 40.5 cm².
Homework 3: Two angles in a triangle are 50° and 50°. Find the third.
Triangle angles sum to 180°.
80°.
Homework 4: A right triangle has legs 6 cm and 8 cm. Find the hypotenuse.
Use a²+b²=c².
10 cm.
Homework 5: A circle has radius 4 cm. Find circumference and area in terms of π.
C = 2πr, A = πr².
C = 8π cm, A = 16π cm².
Homework 6: Scale 1:700. What real length in metres does 6 cm represent?
Multiply in cm, then convert to metres.
6 · 700 = 4200 cm = 42 m.
50 minutes / 40 marks
A timed, full-mark self-assessment with model-answer guidance.

Mathematics
Start from the board specification and work topic by topic before full papers.
The structure follows the official textbook layout and is used to organise study.
The areas that usually create mistakes or need extra revision.
Where to start: textbook, daily material, PDFs, videos, and worked examples.
Targeted practice before full tests so coverage is clear.
How to measure progress in this chapter and when it enters a cumulative mock.
What to do after finishing the chapter and how it connects to the next unit.
Note: for the official examinable syllabus of each school year, always confirm with the school, tutor, and current Ministry/IEP announcements.
