What do the course name and level mean?
IGCSE is an international secondary qualification. In IGCSE Mathematics, Extended includes Core content plus extra topics or depth. This Core/Extended split is not the Computer Science route structure. AS means Advanced Subsidiary and A Level means Advanced Level; A Level has broader and deeper content. Match the subject, specification code and exam year to your school entry.

IGCSE Core learning plan
A tutoring overview, adapted to your starting point and school or institution requirements. Confirm the specification, entry route and assessment year before selecting exam materials.
Official course information and current requirements ↗
Algebra and graphs
Build fluency with expressions and equations; connect a table or situation to a graph and interpret the result.
Shape and measurement
Use angle relationships, measurement and suitable triangle methods, beginning with a labelled diagram.
Probability and statistics
Organise data, interpret summaries and reason about possible outcomes before using a calculation.
A lesson in practice
How we work on IGCSE Core
A price rises from 80 to 92. Identify the original amount, calculate the change, then express that change as a percentage of the original. Follow with a question that reverses the calculation.
The next question changes the numbers or conditions so you can check whether the idea transfers to a new situation.
Assessment
Practice and assessment preparation
1
Confirm the syllabus code, exam year and Core entry before choosing papers.
2
Combine topic practice with timed questions, corrections and a check of calculator and non-calculator skills for the applicable session.
How Classes Run
Teaching plan
- Start with the course outline, a recent marked task and a question the student finds difficult.
- Teach one priority concept, then ask the student to explain a related example without copying a solution.
- Set a short practice task and record the first incorrect step, its correction and a question to retry.
- Review progress through mixed questions and adjust the pace to demonstrated understanding.
FAQ
Common questions about IGCSE Core
Choosing lessons and preparing for your first session.
Who are these lessons for?
Students whose school has confirmed the Core route and who need reliable methods across number, algebra, geometry and data.
What should I send before the introductory session?
Send your course name, topic list, a recent marked task and your assessment date. For an exam course, include the board, specification code and year of entry.
Is this a fixed syllabus or a personalised plan?
The topic map is a teaching overview. We agree the exact coverage from your school or institution materials and the gaps shown in your work.
How is progress reviewed?
We use a new question to check understanding, review the steps you can explain independently and compare recurring mistakes across practice attempts. The next lesson follows that evidence.
