For students taking Calculus and Statistics (M1) or Algebra and Calculus (M2). HKDSE Mathematics Module 2 Revision Notes : Focused on the M2 syllabus, these notes cover Binomial Theorem Trigonometry Mathematical Induction Differentiation with listed formulas and question examples. M2 Integration & Calculus Notes : Part 2 of the M2 series on , specifically covering Integration skills
(substitution and parts) and popular HKDSE application questions. HKDSE M1 & M2 Sample Exemplars : Official Level 5 exemplars from the Dse Math Notes Pdf
that demonstrate the standard of performance required for top grades in the Extended Part. Exam-Specific Practice Past Paper Topic Analysis : A collection of past exam questions from 2012 to 2024 organized by topic, including Mensuration Inequalities Probability DSE Math Mock Exams
The Compulsory Part is divided into three main areas: Number and Algebra, Measure, Shape and Space, and Data Handling. Number and Algebra Polynomials: Factorization (including ), Remainder Theorem, and Factor Theorem. Quadratic Equations: Solving by formula , and understanding the discriminant
Functions & Graphs: Transformations (shifting, stretching), exponential, and logarithmic functions.
Sequences: Arithmetic (AS) and Geometric (GS) sequences and their sums. Measure, Shape and Space For students preparing for the Hong Kong Diploma
Geometry: Properties of circles (tangents, chords), 3D trigonometry, and locus.
Coordinate Geometry: Equations of straight lines and circles. Data Handling
Statistics: Measures of central tendency, dispersion, and statistical charts. Probability: Basic probability, permutations ( ), and combinations ( 📈 Extended Modules (M1 & M2)
These modules are for students seeking advanced qualifications in Calculus and Statistics (M1) or Algebra and Calculus (M2). DSE Mathematics Syllabus Overview | PDF - Scribd 📝 Part 2: Types of Notes You Need
Don't just rely on one textbook. You should have three types of PDF notes:
| Strand | Key Topics | |--------|-------------| | Number & Algebra | Quadratic equations, functions, exponential & logarithmic functions, polynomials, sequences (arithmetic & geometric), inequalities | | Measures, Shape & Space | Congruence & similarity, theorems on circles (e.g., tangent-chord theorem), 2D/3D trigonometry (sine/cosine rules, angle between line and plane), coordinate geometry (equation of straight line, circle, parabola) | | Data Handling | Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), dispersion (range, interquartile range, standard deviation), probability (conditional probability, Bayes’ theorem basics), permutation & combination | | Advanced Topics (often in notes) | Linear programming, locus, transformation geometry, applications of matrix (basic) |
Textbooks can be overwhelming. A quality PDF note summarizes a 30-page chapter into a 2-page cheat sheet. This allows students to review the entire Core Mathematics curriculum in days rather than weeks.
No printing required—though you can print specific pages if you prefer physical copies for certain diagrams or formulas.
