  1. Algebra: Solving linear, quadratic, and simultaneous equations; inequalities; algebraic fractions; functions and their graphs.
  2. Geometry: Properties of polygons and circles (angles, tangents); transformations (reflection, rotation, translation, enlargement); loci.
  3. Mensuration: Calculating areas (circles, sectors, triangles, quadrilaterals), volumes (prisms, pyramids, cones, spheres), and surface areas.
  4. Trigonometry: Sine rule, cosine rule, area of a triangle, and solving problems involving angles of elevation/depression.
  5. Statistics: Mean, median, mode, quartiles, standard deviation, frequency distributions, histograms, and cumulative frequency curves.
  6. Probability: Basic probability, mutually exclusive and independent events.
  7. Vectors: Vector addition, subtraction, magnitude, and position vectors.
  8. Matrices: Matrix operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication), determinant, and inverse of a 2x2 matrix.
  9. Financial Mathematics: Percentages, ratios, rates, simple and compound interest, profit and loss.
