The implementation of the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement in Grades 10 - 12 has necessitated changes to the structure of the Mathematics examination. Topics such as Probability and Euclidean Geometry were previously examined only in the optional Mathematics Paper 3. Probability will now be examined in Mathematics Paper 1 and Euclidean Geometry in Mathematics Paper 2. |
