Vectors? Functions? Surds? Histograms?

Hi, I reckon it will be stuff which didn't come up in the Maths exam on monday 06/06/11. So functions, differentiation bisecting angles, bearings, quadratics, standard form, surds etc - I don't think any of those came up in the exam :\ We may not have the same exam though, do you do edexel maths? I hated Mondays exam! :frown:

haha hope this helped

Most of those things, aren't on Unit 3 Modular Exams, plus quoting the words of my teacher, his prediction is that topics won't repeat, since they've already been asked on Non-Calc Exam, and Edexcel usually don't repeat them.

What you are more likely to get is something you have not been asked... Using a Calculator, Sine and Cosine Rules, Trigonometry, most definately Pythagoras, Ratio, most definately Trial and Improvement, Circle Theorems, Upper/Lower Bounds, Congruency, Compound Interest, Trig Graphs. My teacher said that also Volume, Surface Area and Speed/Distance/Time might occur, but it might be like a part of a question sometimes, since these are Unit 2 and not Unit 3 topics. Hope that helps.

Absolutely was a killer, now I need to get about 30 marks on this one to pass my Maths GCSE, and 50 for a B which I was heading for before Monday's exam easily :/

Hmm you sure? My teacher gave me a list of all topics on June 2011 Calculator Paper. No histograms... :confused:

Please help:
23. A and B are two solid shapes which are mathematically similar.

The shapes are made from the same material.
The surface area of A is 50 cm2.
The surface area of B is 18 cm2.
The mass of A is 500 grams.

Calculate the mass of B.
I cant get it- this is from the june 2010 cal paper soo hard!!

do you think transformation of trigonmetric functions would come up? Thats the only thing i dont have a clue about in maths no matter how many times i revise it.

Circle theroms and triginometry barely came up in Paper 1, so it'll probs be in Paper 2. Trial and improvement always comes up in paper 2.

y= SinX etc, and since it didnt come up on monday I think transformations of functions will come up, but not trigonometric ones as you can work them out on a calculator

Oh you mean the sin/cosine waves on a graph? Ye they will come up, probably X and Y stretch/shift

Our head of maths has emailed us this list:

MATHS 2011 GCSE HIGHER

Below is a list of topics that are most likely to be in the calculator paper on Fri 10th June. It is not everything that will, but does contain the strong possibilities!

Data Handling

Mean from grouped data
Stem and Leaf
Pie Chart
Moving averages
Probability – a small amount

Shape and Space

Metric/imperial units
Pythagoras
Trigonometry
Bearings
Circles – either volume, area or circumference
Loci/Construction
Angles (alternate, corresponding, allied)
Surface area or volume of cones, spheres etc
Circle theorems
Similar shapes (particularly area and volumes)

Number and Algebra

Using a calculator and estimation
Surds
Standard Form
Ratio/Proportion (including ‘inversely’ and ‘square of’ or ‘square root of’)
Percentages (possibly simple interest, compound interest or reverse %)
Bounds and error
Sequences (done, but may be another)
Travel graphs – compound measures (dist, speed, time / mass, vol, density)
Trial and Improvement
Solving Quadratics
Inequalities
Re-arranging formulae and algebraic fractions (done, but may be a little more)
Transformation of curves
Recurring decimals to fractions

What topics are most likely to come up in the 10th June GCSE Maths Higher tier exam?
