23°: PREFACE
New Syllabus Mathematics (NSM) is a series of textbooks and
workbooks designed to prepare students for the Singapore-Cambridge
GCE O-level examination in Mathematics.
‘Together with the textbook, the workbook wil provide students with ample
practice to apply the various skils and concepts leamt to solving problems
in both examination and real-ife situations,
The workbook contains the following features:
Revision Notes are found at the start of each chapter. They
Fe emphasise the important concepts and formulae in the chapter.

‘The questions are classified into three levels of cific.
* BASIE questions require students to use specific skills and concepts in
the chapter directly to solve problems,
+ INTERMEDIATE questions require students to apply their skis and
concepts to solve problems
* ADVANCED questions require students to apply various skis and
concepts, including the use of problem-solving skis, to solve problems.
Revision Exercise
‘The Revision Exercise is found after every few chapters to help students
to recall and consolidate all the concepts leamt in these chapters.
Mid-Year Specimen Papers and End-Year Specimen Papers
‘The Mid-Year Specimen Papers and End-Year Specimen Papers have
been written to follow closely to the format of school's Mid-Year and
End-of-Year examinations,
Itis hoped that when students use this book, to reinforce the concepts that
they are weak in, they will eventually gain success in Mathematics. ied CONTENTS

Whole numbers can be classified into prime numbers, composite numbers or neither prime nor composite
numbers.

The process of expressing a composite number as.a product of its prime factors is known as prime factorisation.
25, then 25 = 5.
A perfect square is a number whose square root is a whole number.
Square and square roots: For example, 5? =
Cubes and cube roots: For example, 5*= 125, then 125 = 5.
A perfect cube is a number whose cube root is a whole number.
The Highest Common Factor (HCE) of two or more numbers is the largest factor that is common to all the
numbers,
The Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest multiple that is common to
all the numbers. BASIC

‘There are three situations when approximation is used
1. The actual value is known but it is not used for various reasons such as
‘+ the actual value is not necessary,
+ itis easier to remember an approximate value than the actual value,
+ itis too messy to write a long string of digits for non-exact numbers,
‘+ itis impossible for calculators to store all the digits of non-exact numbers.
2. The exact value cannot be obtained due to the limitation of the measuring instrument used, but we do nor use
cstimation to obtain an approximate value.
3. The actual value is too troublesome or impossible to obtain, and so we need to use estimation to obtain an
approximate value which can be very far off from the actual value
4. ‘There are five rules to identify digits in a number which are significant.

Rule 5:

In algebra, we use symbols, ¢.g. x,y, a and xy, to represent numbers,

+ The constant is 5.
+ The variable is y and its coefficient is ~4.
+ The variable is x and its coefficient is 3
Ay and 5.
Evaluating an algebraic expression means finding the value of the expression when the variables take on
certain values
We add or subtract the like terms by adding or subtracting the coefficients. We do not add or subtract the
coefficients of unlike terms, e.g. adding 2x and 3y gives 2c + 3y.
Simplification of algebraic expressions with different numerical denominators involves finding the LCM of
the denominators,
