Just one more thing! It states something different on the Exams Navigator document 2012! However, the statement that Lorraine included in the first email of this thread is the over-riding statement. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I have pasted 1 image of French curves and 2 images of Mathomat type templates below. The second one (blue) is from <a href="http://kookaburra.com.au" target="_blank">kookaburra.com.au</a> and can be ordered online. I would be suggesting to my students to take in a shape template that has both straight lines and curves. Students will also need practice in using a shape template to assist them in their drawing, as some students may be better off without one! Note: it is not mandatory for students to take a template into the exam.<u></u><u></u></p>
