Form 4 Add Math Syllabus

Form 4 is the foundation year of SPM Add Math, its 10 chapters build the algebra, functions, geometry and trigonometry that Form 5 calculus depends on.

→How to work through it
Add Math rewards students who follow the syllabus in order rather than jumping to whatever looks hardest, because almost every chapter leans on the ones before it. The Form 4 algebra spine, functions, quadratic functions, indices and logarithms, coordinate geometry, is worth getting genuinely solid first, since the Form 5 calculus and the harder problem-solving quietly assume it.
For each chapter, the reliable pattern is the same: understand the idea, learn the method, then practise full written solutions until the working is automatic and you can reproduce it without notes. Every chapter page below gives you notes, worked examples, common mistakes, a Paper 2 answering guide and key terms, so you can revise a topic from several angles rather than reading it once.
If a chapter feels stuck, it is usually one specific missing idea, often from an earlier chapter, rather than the whole topic, which is exactly the kind of gap a one-to-one lesson finds quickly.
How the syllabus is examined
SPM Additional Mathematics (code 3472) is assessed by two written papers, Paper 1 (2 hours, 80 marks) and Paper 2 (2 hours 30 minutes, 100 marks). There is no Paper 3.
Every chapter below can appear in either paper. You may use a non-programmable scientific calculator, and marking is analytic, you earn marks for correct method and working, not only for the final answer.
Good to know
Because marking is analytic, showing clear working protects your marks even when a final answer slips, a habit our teachers build from Chapter 1.
