IGCSE/GCSE Maths

IGCSE/GCSE Mathematics encourages the development of Mathematical knowledge as a key life skill, and as a strong basis for more advanced study. The syllabus aims to build learners' confidence by helping them develop competence and fluency with mathematical concepts, methods and skills, as well as a feel for numbers, patterns and relationships. The syllabus also places a strong emphasis on solving problems and presenting and interpreting results. Learners also gain an understanding of how to communicate and reason using mathematical concepts.We prepare school students for life, helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. Our international qualifications are recognized by the world’s best universities and employers, giving students a wide range of options in their education and career.

All candidates will study the following topics:

1. Number

2. Algebra and graphs

3. Geometry

4. Mensuration

5. Co-ordinate geometry

6. Trigonometry

7. Matrices and transformations

8. Probability

9. Statistics

Our team provide a wide range of support resources to give our learners the best possible preparation.
