Innova Junior College / H2 Mathematics / Dec hols revision package JC1 / 2009
2009 JC1 H2 Maths December Revision Package

Objectives:
1. To revise fundamental topics learnt in JC1 to ensure that you start JC2 with the necessary
knowledge (mathematical concepts, formulae) and skills (analytical & thinking skills) to
cope with the more difficult year 2 topics.
2. To practice non-standard A level type of questions.
3. To revise basic integration techniques learnt in O level Additional Mathematics as
pre-knowledge required for Chapter 16 Integration Techniques.
Note:
• These basic integration techniques found in Chapter 16 Integration Techniques Sections 1 to
2 will be “taught” via an independent learning unit (H2 Integration Techniques S1 to S2.mov)
which can be viewed via MLG.
• These sections 1 to 2 will not be taught in the JC2 lectures. Lectures in JC2 2010 will start
with Chapter 16 Section 3.
How to use this revision package effectively?

1. Revise the relevant topic(s) before attempting a question.
2. Do Analysis of Question.
(a) Identify the question(s).
Examples:
− Find the …..
− Show that ….
− Explain why …
(b) Highlight the important/key words.

Examples:
− Hence, …. (“Hence” means must use the earlier result which is usually the
shorter method)
− Show algebraically, …. (If the method is specified, must follow instructions)
− Show that … (“Show” means must show all working, regardless of how trivial
it may seem to be. In fact, the more obvious the solution is, the more explicit
the working should be.)
− Determine if … (“Determine” requires both the answer and the
reason/working to support your answer.)
− Find the exact value …, or Without using a calculator,…, or find … in the
form a + b c . (Such phrases indicate that GC solution is not to be presented
as working BUT it does not mean that you cannot use GC to check your
answer.)
3. Do the Thinking Process.

Use the information gathered from the analysis of question to plan your working,
especially for the more complex questions.
