o Completing the square

o Quadratic formula

o Disguised quadratic equations

o Sketching the graph of a quadratic function

o Algebraic fractions


Circular functions and trigonometry

o Triangles

o Radian measure

o The functions of sin, cos and tan

o Sine and Cosine rules

Functions and equations

o Transforming the graph of a function

o Mappings

o Composite Functions

o Inverse Functions

Differentiation 1

o Gradient of a curve

o The derivative of y = ax^n

o Sum of difference of two functions

o The second derivative
