Course summary

The aim is to study all topics at Key Stage 4, to prepare the pupils for sixth form work, to develop their ability to express the same concept in various mathematical languages (algebraic, geometric) and to develop cognitive skills.  The objective is to make pupils familiar and confident with algebraic manipulation (including rational functions) and to introduce them to basic differentiation. Previous work on geometry and trigonometry is revised and extended via vectors and scalene triangles. Revision of the IGCSE course takes place during the second term for all sets once the syllabus has been completed.
