Course description
Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics motivates learners to improve their mathematical abilities, viewing them as essential life skills and a strong basis for further studies in mathematics or to support skills in other subjects. It enhances students’ proficiency, confidence, and skill in applying methods with or without the aid of a graphic display calculator.It cultivates learners’ abilities in mathematical inquiry and/or modeling, promoting both conceptual understanding and proficiency in applying techniques and methods.
Assessment Structure
All students should take 3 components which will be assessed externally.Students who have chosen core syllabus will take paper 1,paper 3 and paper 5. And students who have chosen extended syllabus will take paper 2, paper 4 and paper 6.
