Introduction

Welcome to the third edition of our very popular Cambridge IGCSE™ Additional Mathematics series.

This new series has been designed around extensive research interviews and lesson observations with teachers and students around the world following the course. As a result of this research, some changes have been made to the new series, with the aim of solving and supporting your biggest classroom challenges and developing your students’ passion and excitement for Mathematics

As well as targeted support in the Coursebook, we have produced an updated Practice book, with exercises for each topic to provide more opportunities for students to consolidate their learning and develop their knowledge application skills. We are introducing a Worked Solutions Manual to provide additional support for teachers and students to work through selected Coursebook questions.

As we develop new resources, we ensure that we are keeping up-to-date with best practice in pedagogies. For this new series we have added new features to the Coursebook, such as engaging projects to develop students’ collaborative skills and ‘pre-requisite knowledge’ guides to unlock students’ prior learning and help you to evaluate students’ learning starting points.

Finally, we have updated this Teacher’s Resource to make it as useful and relevant as possible to your dayto-day teaching needs. From teaching activity, assessment and homework ideas, to how to tackle common misconceptions in each topic, to a new feature developing your own teaching skills, we hope that this handy resource will inspire you, support you and save you much-needed time.

We hope that you enjoy using this series and that it helps you to continue to inspire and excite your students about this vital and ever-changing subject. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions for us, as your views are essential for us to keep producing resources that meet your classroom needs.
