Secondary 3 Mathematics Topical Guide (2nd Ed)

• Concise Summary Notes are used to highlight important procedures, concepts, rules and formulae to aid learning.
• Detailed Worked Examples in each lesson are included to show the applications of mathematical concepts and formulae learnt.
• An array of Practice Questions in each lesson in given to provide opportunities to practise and apply the mathematical concepts and skills for progressive learning.
• To consolidate and extent students’ learning, at the end of each topic, the questions in the Review Corner are arranged into three levels of difficulty. Beginner Level questions reinforce the basic concepts and ensure students’ foundation is put in place. Intermediate Level questions raise students’ confidence progressively and prepare students for summative assessments. Advanced Level questions aim to challenge students to stretch beyond their problem solving abilities.
• Appropriate Teacher’s Comments, Notes and Tips are incorporated as timely reminders of important pointers and to provide a more concise explanation of worked solutions.
• To conclude a topic, the Checklist for My Learning Outcomesis presented to help students examine the progress of their learning and understanding of that topic.
• Detailed Worked Solutions to every question are provided as a useful resource tool for students to make reference to their own solutions.

Relevant Problems in Real-World Contexts are included to enable students to connect and apply the concepts that they have learnt, to real-world situations. Two sets of End-of-Year Examination Specimen Papers are crafted to assess students’ readiness for the schools’ examination.
