Input-output relationship
A function maps each allowed input to one output. Formula, table, and graph are different representations of the same relationship.

Unit
The essential chapter ideas in a clear sequence before practice.
A function maps each allowed input to one output. Formula, table, and graph are different representations of the same relationship.
Parameters change slope, position, amplitude, or rate of change. Read the key features before plotting individual points.
The domain states which inputs are allowed. In a real model, also check whether the output is physically meaningful.
Mathematics
Follow the method step by step and check why every step is valid.
For f(x) = 5x - 5, find f(4) and the x-intercept.
Mathematics
Start from the board specification and work topic by topic before full papers.
The structure follows the official textbook layout and is used to organise study.
The areas that usually create mistakes or need extra revision.
f(4) = 15, x-intercept = 5/5
Before calculating, explain the key idea from “Final write-up” and which conditions must be checked.
The answer should show not only which rule is used for “Final write-up”, but also why it is valid here.
Internal Assessment completion
Try independently, use the hint if needed, then open the answer guide.
1. Explain the idea and give one correct foundation example for “Final write-up”.
Write the givens, a useful representation or rule, and only then calculate.
A complete answer defines “Final write-up”, shows equivalent steps, and includes a final check.
2. Solve an application and show every intermediate step for “Mathematical reflection”.
Write the givens, a useful representation or rule, and only then calculate.
A complete answer defines “Mathematical reflection”, shows equivalent steps, and includes a final check.
3. Compare a correct and an incorrect approach and justify the difference for “Communication”.
Write the givens, a useful representation or rule, and only then calculate.
A complete answer defines “Communication”, shows equivalent steps, and includes a final check.
4. Create a short exam-style question and check your answer for “Bibliography”.
Write the givens, a useful representation or rule, and only then calculate.
A complete answer defines “Bibliography”, shows equivalent steps, and includes a final check.
Where to start: textbook, daily material, PDFs, videos, and worked examples.
Targeted practice before full tests so coverage is clear.
