,General Guidelines
1. A Cover page or title page – You should always attach a title page to your assignment. Use previous page as
your cover sheet and be sure to fill the details correctly.
2. This entire brief should be attached in first before you start answering.
3. All the assignments should prepare using word processing software.
4. All the assignments should print in A4 sized paper, and make sure to only use one side printing.
5. Allow 1” margin on each side of the paper. But on the left side you will need to leave room for binging.
Word Processing Rules
1. Use a font type that will make easy for your examiner to read. The font size should be 12 point, and should
be in the style of Time New Roman.
2. Use 1.5 line word-processing. Left justify all paragraphs.
3. Ensure that all headings are consistent in terms of size and font style.
4. Use footer function on the word processor to insert Your Name, Subject, Assignment No, and Page
Number on each page. This is useful if individual sheets become detached for any reason.
5. Use word processing application spell check and grammar check function to help edit your assignment.
Important Points:
1. Check carefully the hand in date and the instructions given with the assignment. Late submissions will not be
accepted.
2. Ensure that you give yourself enough time to complete the assignment by the due date.
3. Don’t leave things such as printing to the last minute – excuses of this nature will not be accepted for failure
to hand in the work on time.
4. You must take responsibility for managing your own time effectively.
5. If you are unable to hand in your assignment on time and have valid reasons such as illness, you may apply
(in writing) for an extension.
6. Failure to achieve at least a PASS grade will result in a REFERRAL grade being given.
,7. Non-submission of work without valid reasons will lead to an automatic REFERRAL. You will then be asked to
complete an alternative assignment.
8. Take great care that if you use other people’s work or ideas in your assignment, you properly reference
them, using the HARVARD referencing system, in you text and any bibliography, otherwise you may be guilty
of plagiarism.
9. If you are caught plagiarising you could have your grade reduced to A REFERRAL or at worst you could be
excluded from the course.
,Student Declaration
I hereby, declare that I know what plagiarism entails, namely to use another’s work and to present it as my own
without attributing the sources in the correct way. I further understand what it means to copy another’s work.
1. I know that plagiarism is a punishable offence because it constitutes theft.
2. I understand the plagiarism and copying policy of the Edexcel UK.
3. I know what the consequences will be if I plagiaries or copy another’s work in any of the assignments for this
program.
4. I declare therefore that all work presented by me for every aspects of my program, will be my own, and
where I have made use of another’s work, I will attribute the source in the correct way.
5. I acknowledge that the attachment of this document signed or not, constitutes a binding agreement
between myself and Edexcel UK.
6. I understand that my assignment will not be considered as submitted if this document is not attached to the
attached.

Assignment Brief and Guidance:
Activity 01
Part 1
1. Mr.Steve has 120 pastel sticks and 30 pieces of paper to give to his students.
a) Find the largest number of students he can have in his class so that each student gets
equal number of pastel sticks and equal number of paper.
b) Briefly explain the technique you used to solve (a).
, 2. Maya is making a game board that is 16 inches by 24 inches. She wants to use square tiles. What
is the largest tile she can use?
Part 2
3. An auditorium has 40 rows of seats. There are 20 seats in the first row, 21 seats in the second
row, 22 seats in the third row, and so on. Using relevant theories, find how many seats are there
in all 40 rows?
4. Suppose you are training to run an 8km race. You plan to start your training by running 2km a
week, and then you plan to add a ½km more every week. At what week will you be running 8km?
5. Suppose you borrow 100,000 rupees from a bank that charges 15% interest. Using relevant
theories, determine how much you will owe the bank over a period of 5 years.
Part 3
6. Find the multiplicative inverse of 8 mod 11 while explaining the algorithm used.
Part 4
7. Produce a detailed written explanation of the importance of prime numbers within the field of
computing.
Activity 02
Part 1
1. Define ‘conditional probability’ with suitable examples.
2. A school which has 100 students in its sixth form, 50 students study mathematics, 29 study biology
and 13 study both subjects. Find the probability of the student studying mathematics given that the
student studies biology.
