At Higher Tier all of the foundation PLUS…. – NUMBER Combinations Surds Bounds of accuracy for calculations (for example if a = b/c what are the bounds of accuracy of a) ALGEBRA Using the quadratic formula Functions composite and inverse – Exponential functions (eg, given 2 points find a and b such that y = abx) Estimate the gradient from a graph and interpret (velocity-time graphs or financial graphs?) Completing the square Iteration Quadratic inequalities Geometric sequences Estimating the area under a curve (and in context?) Changing the subject when the subject appears more than once. SHAPE Negative enlargements Bearings Similarity applied to area and volume Sine and cosine rules Three dimensional trigonometry HANDLING DATA + PROBABILITY Box and whisker diagrams compare and contrast 2 – (eg in a pond, 100 fish are captured, tagged and Capture/Recapture method released. In a further sample 20 are captured and 2 are tagged estimate the fish – population of the lake) Drawing a cumulative frequency diagram Drawing a histogram
