Course Grading
Assessment
In Mathematics, student progress is assessed through weekly formative assessments that provide consistent feedback on their understanding and application of concepts. Learners are assessed through a combination of tests and exams designed to evaluate their understanding and application of mathematical concepts.
At the end of each topic or half-term, students complete comprehensive assessments, such as end-of-topic quizzes, to demonstrate their skills and overall progress. Regular assessments help identify strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring learners are well-prepared for their final exams.
What Will Your Child Learn?
Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics provides a strong foundation of mathematical knowledge both for
candidates studying mathematics at a higher level and those who will require mathematics to support skills in
other subjects. The Learners will explore:
- Number and Algebra – Fractions, percentages, equations, and graphs.
- Geometry and Trigonometry – Shapes, angles, coordinates, and trigonometric functions.
- Statistics and Probability – Data analysis, probability, and interpretation of results.
- Functions and Calculus – Basic functions and introductory differentiation (extended syllabus).
This course develops critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills, helping learners build confidence in tackling mathematical challenges. It is designed for students aiming for IGCSE qualifications and beyond.
