Message from the Director General

The Department of Mathematics of the National Institute of Education (NIE) has adopted a variety of methodologies with a view to promoting mathematics education. This book entitled "Practice questions with answers" is a result of such an exercise.

Since the General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level) examination is a highly competitive examination, preparing the students is also a highly competitive task for the teachers, who teach Combined Mathematics for grade 12 and 13. To overcome the difficulty of this task teachers need supportive materials which are developed according to a proper standardand. But such type of materials are quite rare. It is not a secret that most of the instruments available in the market are composed of questions that lack validity and quality. The Department of Mathematics of the NIE has prepared this Practice questions with answers to rectify this situation and facilitate students to prepare well for the examination. This collection comprises of questions prepared according to the syllabus implemented from 2017. Inclusion of answers along with questions undoubtedly, makes it easier to use for the teachers.

I request teachers and students to make the evaluation process in Combined Mathematics a success by having access to this book.

I wish to extend my gratitude to the donors of the Austraian Aid programe for assistance given to make this book available to you and also to the staff of the Department of Mathematics and external scholars who provided academic contribution to make this venture a success.

Dr. (Mrs.) T. A. R. J. Gunasekera Director General National Institute of Education

The past evidence shows that most of the creative inventors came from the field of mathematics or related field of mathematics. The syllabus prepared for G.C.E.(A/L) maths stream is with the intention of producing experts in the field of Mathematics, Science and Technology. The revised new syllabus for Mathematics and Combined Mathematics was introduced from the year 2017.To make the learning of students easy, a book named `practice question with answers' was prepared by "The Department of Mathematics of the National Institute of Education". The way of questions provided in this book will help students to make them feel more comfortable and also help them to prepare for their G.C.E.(A/L) examination by self-measuring their achievement level. For the above reason It is expected to develop skills and ability on writing necessary steps while answering the question in the public examinations by gaining experience by practicing questions on this book.
