MATHEMATICS SYLLABUS D (4024)

GCE ORDINARY LEVEL AND SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
(Syllabus Code 4029 is to be used by Centres in Mauritius in November.)

Introduction

The syllabus demands understanding of basic mathematical concepts and their applications,
together with an ability to show this by clear expression and careful reasoning.

In the examination, importance will be attached to skills in algebraic manipulation and to

numerical accuracy in calculations.

Learning Aims

The course should enable students to:

1. increase intellectual curiosity, develop mathematical language as a means of

communication and investigation and explore mathematical ways of reasoning;

2. acquire and apply skills and knowledge relating to number, measure and space in
mathematical situations that they will meet in life;

3. acquire a foundation appropriate to a further study of Mathematics and skills and

knowledge pertinent to other disciplines;

4. appreciate the pattern, structure and power of Mathematics and derive satisfaction,
enjoyment and confidence from the understanding of concepts and the mastery of skills.

Assessment Objectives

The examination will test the ability of candidates to:

1. recognise the appropriate mathematical procedures for a given situation;

2. perform calculations by suitable methods, with and without a calculating aid;
3. use the common systems of units;
4. estimate, approximate and use appropriate degrees of accuracy;
5. interpret, use and present information in written, graphical, diagrammatic and tabular
forms;
6. use geometrical instruments;
7. recognise and apply spatial relationships in two and three dimensions;
8. recognise patterns and structures in a variety of situations and form and justify
generalisations;
9. understand and use mathematical language and symbols and present mathematical
arguments in a logical and clear fashion;
10. apply and interpret Mathematics in a variety of situations, including daily life;
11. formulate problems into mathematical terms, select, apply and communicate appropriate
techniques of solution and interpret the solutions in terms of the problems.

 MATHEMATICS SYLLABUS D 4024 O LEVEL 2007

Units
SI units will be used in questions involving mass and measures: the use of the centimetre will
continue.

Both the 12-hour clock and the 24-hour clock may be used for quoting times of the day. In the
24-hour clock, for example, 3.15 a.m. will be denoted by 03 15; 3.15 p.m. by 15 15, noon by
12 00 and midnight by 24 00.

Candidates will be expected to be familiar with the solidus notation for the expression of
compound units, e.g. 5 cm/s for 5 centimetres per second, 13.6 g/cm3 for 13.6 grams per cubic
centimetre.

Scheme of Papers

Component Time Allocation Type Maximum Mark Weighting

Paper 1 2 hours Short answer questions 80 50%
Paper 2 2½ hours Structured questions 100 50%

Paper 1 will consist of about 25 short answer questions. Neither mathematical tables nor slide
rules nor calculators will be allowed in this paper. All working must be shown in the spaces
provided on the question paper. Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks.

Paper 2 will consist of two sections: Section A (52 marks) will contain about six questions with no
choice. Section B (48 marks) will contain five questions of which candidates will be required to
answer four. Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks.

Candidates are expected to cover the whole syllabus. Each paper may contain questions on any
part of the syllabus and questions will not necessarily be restricted to a single topic.

Calculating Aids

PAPER 1

The use of all calculating aids is prohibited.

PAPER 2

(a) It is assumed that all candidates will have an electronic calculator. A scientific calculator with
trigonometric functions is strongly recommended. However, the Cambridge Elementary
Mathematical Tables may continue to be used to supplement the use of the calculator, for
example for trigonometric functions and square roots.

(b) The use of slide rules will no longer be permitted.

(c) Unless stated otherwise within an individual question, three figure accuracy will be required.
This means that four figure accuracy should be shown throughout the working, including
cases where answers are used in subsequent parts of the question. Premature
approximation will be penalised, where appropriate.

(d) In Paper 4024/2, candidates with suitable calculators are encouraged to use the value of π
from their calculators. The value of π will be given as 3.142 to 3 decimal places for use by
other candidates. This value will be given on the front page of the question paper only.
