Many Sec3 or Sec4 students lack confidence in graphing/sketching questions. They waste
more than 15 minutes sketching a curve and might still get it wrong. Some students struggle to understand the purpose of such graphs and their applications, finding themselves unable to attempt most of the application questions for graphing.
This course will allow you to master graphing techniques and sketching, and effectively score full marks in this segment in your promotional exams or O-levels. There will be a focus on applications of linear graphs, sketching of quadratic graph (roots of equation, intercepts, min and max points), as well as tangent and normal to the curve.
By the end of this class, the student will learn how to:
-Apply the concept of gradients to solve problems
-Identify common graphing trends, shapes and problems
-Understand the significance of coordinate geometry and linear/quadratic graphs by relating it to
a linear/quadratic equation
-Effectively find variables such as the X and Y intercepts, asymptotes, maximum and minimum
points, as well as tangent to the curve
-Confidently and correctly sketch complex graphs in under 10minutes without supervision
-Use graphing to resolve problems such as simultaneous equations or log scale
-Systematically perform transformation of graphs without error
Our worksheets are selected based on past year questions from a variety of secondary
schools and standard O-level questions. During lessons, we provide tips or question
spotting based on trends observed in different schools.
