Core Domains
- Number: Structure of real numbers, prime factorisation, fractions, percentages, ratios, bounds, and standard form ().
- Algebra & Sequences: Manipulation of algebraic expressions, solution of linear and quadratic equations, simultaneous systems, inequalities, functions, and graph transformations.
- Shape, Space & Trigonometry: Euclidean geometry, circle theorems, right-angled and non-right-angled trigonometry (, sine rule, cosine rule), mensuration (perimeter, area, volume), and 2D vectors.
- Probability & Statistics: Experimental and theoretical probability, sample space diagrams, tree diagrams, statistical measures of location and spread, histograms, and cumulative frequency curves.
