Foreword

The Individual Tuition Centre was established in 2011 with the sole aim of
offering tailor made tutorials for Primary and Secondary students. We have
grown to become a force to reckon with in Individual Tutoring and Book Sales.

Tutorials are offered as remedial lessons, crash programs or full time

(secondary only).

Due to our quest to continue to improve the academic performance of

students, we source, compile and print past exam papers and answer booklets
(Primary, Secondary, Cambridge and Zimsec).

While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the
suggested answers, the Individual Tuition Centre cannot be held liable for any
errors that may inadvertently occur. Experienced teachers and examiners
contribute in the production of these documents.

We value your feedback. If you have suggestions on how we can improve our
services, do not hesitate to contact us.

Why students fail Maths

This is a very important question I will briefly address here. The sad reality is that most students who
perceive Maths as a difficult subject do not do anything about it. Why bother when “everyone” knows that
the subject is difficult? This is counterintuitive! I would expect that students invest more time in the
subject.

The greatest impediment to mathematical competency is your attitude towards the subject. After a few
counselling sessions, most students who previously performed poorly in Maths admit that they had a
negative attitude towards the subject and consequently did not like the subject. Some did not even attend
Maths classes.

1. Never listen to the opinions of people who have previously failed to do well in the subject.

2. Study to understand and enjoy the subject. Do not always do Maths with exams in mind. Remember we

need Maths in our day to day lives.

3. Do not browse through Maths concepts as if you are reading a newspaper! Take your time to grasp the

important concepts so that you will be able to apply them in the exam.

4. Do not worry about the New Curriculum, nothing much was changed from the “Old” Curriculum.

5. Develop a strategy for doing well in the subject:

i) Thoroughly understand your directed numbers. This is arguably the most important topic in Maths!

Knowledge of how to manipulate signs is a must. Students lose a lot of marks here.

ii) Work without a calculator and use it only when necessary. This is how you improve your algebraic

skills such as factorisation, removing brackets and dealing with algebraic fractions.

iii) Understand compulsory topics such as Locus, Algebra, Matrices, Sets and General Mathematics.

iv) Choose your Paper 2 Section B questions wisely. Good topics to study and choose from are

Triangles and trigonometry, Mensuration of Shapes, Probability and Statistics, Graphs, Quadratics

and Linear Programming.

v) Learn to work with others and ask questions when unsure of anything.

I wish you well in your studies. If you can do well in other subjects, you can also do well in Maths.

Hard work and a positive attitude sum it all up!

About this book

This book was compiled by Salanny Mhlanga, the Director of Studies
at Individual Tuition Centre. The book covers Zimsec past exam
papers for June and November 2018 – 2019.

All the concepts in these papers are relevant to the New Curriculum.
All answers in this booklet were prepared by Salanny himself, a
veteran tutor with more than a decade of experience in teaching
Mathematics and Physics up to Advanced Level. The answers,
therefore, are not in any way linked to Zimsec, it’s solely a personal
effort. His hope is that many students will develop a positive mindset
towards the subject and consequently perform better.
