Syllabus overview

​

Cambridge IGCSE Additional Mathematics encourages learners to further develop their mathematical ability in problem solving and provides strong progression for advanced study of mathematics or highly numerate subjects.

The syllabus:

• stretches more able candidates and provides a smooth transition to Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics.

• reinforces learners' competency, confidence, and fluency in their use of techniques with and without a calculator, strengthening mathematical understanding and communication skills.

• enriches learners understanding of connections within mathematics, refining learners’ reasoning and analytical skills.

• requires a fluent and confident ability to solve problems in abstract mathematics.

• progresses learners’ ability to communicate mathematically and justify their reasons using structured arguments.

Syllabus overview

​

Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science helps learners develop an interest in computational thinking and an understanding of the principles of problem-solving using computers. They apply this understanding to create computer-based solutions to problems using algorithms and a high-level programming language. Learners also develop a range of technical skills, and the ability to effectively test and evaluate computing solutions.

Studying Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science helps learners appreciate current and emerging computing technologies, the benefits of their use and recognise their potential risks. It provides an ideal foundation for progression to Cambridge International AS & A Level and is valuable for other areas of study and everyday life.

Syllabus overview

​

The Cambridge IGCSE Design and Technology syllabus enables learners to identify, consider and solve problems through creative thinking, planning and design, and by working with different media, materials and tools. As a result, learners gain greater technical and design awareness, while developing skills such as initiative, resourcefulness, enquiry and ingenuity. They also develop the communication skills central to design making and evaluation.

Cambridge IGCSE Design and Technology provides an ideal basis for further study, and prepares learners for their future within a rapidly changing technological society.

Syllabus overview

​

Cambridge IGCSE International Mathematics encourages learners to develop their mathematical ability as a key life skill, and as a strong basis for further study of mathematics or to support skills in other subjects.

The syllabus:

• develops learners' competency, confidence, and fluency in their use of techniques with and without the use of a graphic display calculator, cultivating mathematical understanding

• develops learners’ feel for quantity, patterns, and relationships, encouraging learners’ reasoning and analytical skills

• places a strong emphasis on solving problems in mathematics and real-life contexts

• promotes appropriate presentation and interpretation of results, encouraging learners’ understanding of how to communicate and reason mathematically

• develops learners’ skills in mathematical investigations and/or modelling, building conceptual understanding as well as ability to apply techniques and use approaches

• is tiered to allow candidates of all abilities to achieve and progress in their mathematical studies.
