G10 – Mathematics


PREFACE

Term

In Grade 10, mathematics is an optional subject (as an alternative to mathematical literacy) for the first time. There may be various reasons why you might choose mathematics as a subject, for example to prepare you for a field of study where Grade 12 mathematics is a prerequisite, or a career in which a background in mathematics would be advantageous.

1

(11 weeks)

In general, mathematics in Grade 10 to 12 involves more abstract concepts and more complex procedures than in Grade 1 to 9. Mastering mathematics in Grade 10 to 12 requires more time, commitment, critical thought and reflection than in Grade 1 to 9.

2

This product consists of two study guides and two facilitator’s guides, which are based on the concepts of Optimi’s GuidEd Learning™ model to help you achieve success in your study of mathematics. These books cover all work required for Grade 10 mathematics and have been compiled in accordance with the CAPS guidelines as required by the Department of Basic Education.

(11 weeks)

Number of weeks 3

1. Algebraic expressions

2

3. Number patterns

2 2 3 4 1 3 3 2

The study guides are supported by supplementary lesson structures on the Optimi Learning Platform (OLP), which is an online platform. These lesson structures offer continuous guidance to support and enrich your learning process. This guidance is based on the latest insights in education, cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Note that the study guides can also be used independently of the OLP.

3

(10 weeks)

The study guides and facilitator’s guides are divided into 15 themes. Study guide 1/2 and facilitator’s guide 1/2 cover themes 1 to 8 (terms 1 and 2) and study guide 2/2 and facilitator’s guide 2/2 cover themes 9 to 15 (terms 3 and 4). The themes correspond with the CAPS guidelines with regard to content and time allocation and represent the year plan.

G10 – Mathematics – Study Guide 2/2

Time allocation

Each theme has the same structure in order to make it easier for you to navigate through them. The structure is as follows:

According to the CAPS requirements, at least 4,5 hours should be spent on teaching mathematics per week. For example, 13,5 hours (three weeks × 4,5 hours per week) will be spent on teaching Theme 1 (algebraic expressions). Themes have not been sub-divided into lessons; you and your facilitator are at liberty to complete as much content per session and per week as your progress allows. If you work at a slower pace, the necessary adaptations should be done so that you will still be able to master all the work in time.

Introduction

What this theme is about This briefly tells you what the theme is about without providing details or using “difficult” or unknown concepts. A comprehensive list of the learning outcomes you need to master in a specific theme is given as a summary at the end of the theme.

Note that the teaching time referred to above does not include the time during which you should apply and practise the knowledge and concepts you have learned. For this purpose, various exercises are provided throughout each theme. These exercises involve different ways of applying and practising new knowledge and cover various degrees of difficulty. You should try to do all of these exercises. Complete solutions are provided in the facilitator’s guide.

Previous knowledge

This section tells you what existing knowledge you need to master the theme involved.

The learning activities available in the OLP’s lesson structures involve different formats and levels of interaction. The resources not only support the learning process, but also offer you the opportunity to practise new knowledge. Tip: The more exercises you do, the greater the chance that you will achieve success in mathematics.

Structure of themes Learning is a complex process. Millions of brain cells and neural pathways in our brains work together to store new information in the long-term memory so that we will be able to remember it later on. Long-term memory is not our only type of memory and when we learn, our working memory is just as important. Working memory is different from long-term memory and has a limited capacity. This means that one’s working memory can only handle a small amount of new information at a time. When one learns mathematics, there is a lot of new information your brain needs to process, which can easily exhaust your working memory. The study guides have been written and compiled in such a way that it does not overtax the working memory and therefore simplifies the process of learning mathematics.

Revision

Exercises

This may involve one of the following:

The exercises give you the opportunity to practise the concepts and procedures taught. It is important to try and complete all exercises. Complete solutions are provided in the facilitator’s guides.

1.

revision of the concepts, definitions and procedures required as previous knowledge, 2. an exercise or activity with solutions so that you can test your previous knowledge yourself, or 3. a combination of the above. Do not neglect this revision. It is important to work through this section thoroughly. Mathematical concepts often follow on one another and if basic knowledge is lacking or has not been mastered sufficiently, this will handicap the formation of new knowledge.

Questions usually progress from easy (in order to master and practise basic concepts and procedures) to difficult (more complex operations).

Mixed exercises are also provided, where you get the opportunity to practise different concepts and procedures and integrate these with previous themes.

Summary of theme

Following the introductory part of the theme, new knowledge is dealt with in sub-themes. Each sub-theme has the following structure:

Here you will find a summary of what you should have mastered in the theme. This is expressed in more formal mathematical language in order to be in keeping with the CAPS (the curriculum statement).

SUB-THEME

Introduction

End of theme exercise

New concepts and procedures are explained. Relevant previous knowledge is also dealt with here if necessary.

This is a mixed exercise involving all concepts and procedures dealt with in the theme, where this work can also be integrated with previous work. The degree of difficulty of this exercise varies. It is important that you try and complete all the exercises. Complete solutions can be found in the facilitator’s guide.

Worked examples

Mixed exercises such as these in this textbook form a very important component of mastering mathematics. There is a big difference between the ability to recognise your work and the ability to recall it. When you are able to recognise your work, you will often say “Oh, of course!” but you struggle to remember this when you are writing an examination. When you are able to recall your work, this means that you have captured that knowledge in your long-term

Worked examples show you how the new concepts and procedures are applied and help you understand and apply the newly taught concepts and procedures.

memory and are able to remember and use it. Mixed exercises enable you to not only recognise the work, but also recall it from your long-term memory.

Self-evaluation

When you practise the same type of sum or problem over and over, you often get lazy and do not reflect upon the exercise anymore. You are convinced that you know exactly what type of sum or problem you need to solve. But in a test or exam, all these problems are mixed up and then it might be difficult to know what to do. When mixed exercises form part of your learning process, you learn to identify and complete a sum or problem correctly. This means that you are truly prepared for tests or exams, because you can recall your work instead of merely recognising it.

In each theme, and usually following each sub-theme, there is an activity where you need to reflect critically about the extent to which you have mastered certain concepts and procedures. This activity has the following format:

Use the following scale to determine how comfortable you are with each topic in the table below:

1. Help! I don’t feel comfortable with the topic at all. I need help. 2. Alarm! I don’t feel comfortable, but I just need more time to work through the topic again. 3. OK! I feel moderately comfortable with the topic, but I still struggle sometimes. 4. Sharp! I feel comfortable with the topic. 5. Whoo-hoo, it’s party time! I feel totally comfortable with the topic and can even answer more complicated questions about it. Complete the table.

Tip: Complete each self-evaluation as honestly as possible. If there are aspects which you have not mastered, revisit these and make sure that you do master them. Ask the facilitator for help. It is important not to move on to a next theme or sub-theme before you have mastered the topic involved, even if this means that you spend more time on a specific theme than recommended by the CAPS.

Theme 9: Analytical geometry

G10 – Mathematics – Study Guide 2/2

THEME 9

What is analytical geometry about? Analytical geometry is also called coordinate geometry and was previously known as Cartesian geometry.

ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY

It is the study of geometry using the principles of algebra and the Cartesian coordinate system. It involves the definition of geometric figures in a numerical way (using numbers) and finding numerical information when diagrams are given in the Cartesian plane.

Introduction

The development of analytical geometry is sometimes considered the origin of modern mathematics.

In this theme you will learn to: • • • • •

find the distance between two points in the Cartesian plane find the mid-point of a line segment find the gradient of a line find the equation of a line find the equations of parallel and perpendicular lines and determine whether lines are parallel or perpendicular • work with collinear points (points that lie on the same line) • apply all this knowledge in mixed exercises.

Background

If we have the coordinates of the vertices of a figure, we can draw the figure in the Cartesian plane. In the diagram below, for e𝑥ample, ​​L(​ ​​− 5; − 2)​ ​​​​, ​​M(​ ​​− 1; − 6)​ ​​​​ and K ​​ (​ ​​5; 4​)​​​​ are the vertices of ∆ ​  KLM​in the Cartesian plane.

Prior knowledge

In order to master this theme, you should already:

• know about the Cartesian plane and that it consists of four quadrants • know about coordinate points, e.g. (3; 5), where the first coordinate (3) is always the 𝑥-coordinate, and the second coordinate (5) is always the y-coordinate • know that the gradient or inclination of a line refers to the steepness of the line, and that it can be defined as: y  – y the change in the y-values between 2 points on the line ___________ ​​ the change in the 𝑥-values between the same 2 points on the line                ​​  =_ ​ 𝑥2 – 𝑥1    ​​ 2 1

• know the properties of triangles and quadrilaterals.

9.1 THE DISTANCE FORMULA 1.

Write down the coordinates of A, B, C and D.

4.

What type of figure is ABCD? Give a reason for your answer.

2. 3.

In the diagram below, two points are given: (–3; –1) and (2; 3). We want to find the distance between them.

Calculate the gradients of AD and BC. What do you notice? Calculate the gradients of AB and DC. What do you notice?

In order to find the distance between the points (–3; –1) and (2; 3), we will add a point vertically below (2; 3) and horizontally to the right of (–3; –1). This new point is therefore (2; –1). If we connect the three points, they form a rightangled triangle with the 90° angle at the new point.

REMEMBER

We use the theorem of Pythagoras to calculate the distance between (–3; –1) and (2; 3).

The order of the letters by which we name a figure is important.

The name ABCD tells us that we move from point A to point B, from B to point C, from C to point D and then back to point A in order to form figure ABCD.

Worked example 1

The length of the vertical side is (3 –(–1)) = 4 units and the length of the horizontal side is (2 – (–3)) = 5 units. (distance)² = (3 –(–1))² + (2 – ( – 3))²

(Pythagoras)

= 4² + 5²

= 16 + 25

Find the distance between A and B.

= 41

Solution

_

​∴​ distance = ​√ 41 ​

Let A(–5 ; –2) = (𝑥1 ; 𝑦1) and B(3 ; 4) = (𝑥2 ; 𝑦2)

We can generalise this calculation and get a formula – a formula is simply the generalisation of a specific case.
