FURTHER MATHEMATICS

Aims
Our accelerated Maths sets will take on Further Mathematics in Year 11 (after completing the IGCSE syllabus by the end of Year 10). This course will provide interesting problem solving lengthy questions for the very able mathematicians who will find the material in the IGCSE course relatively straightforward.
This course is specifically designed to stretch those excelling in the IGCSE course, and also to provide a solid basis for pupils wishing to progress to Edexcel A-Level Mathematics, which is what we would expect most of the pupils in these sets to do.
Nature Of The Course
The IGCSE Further Pure Mathematics course is broadly split into five key areas: Number; Algebra; Calculus; Geometry; and Trigonometry. It also enhances some of the grade 9 topics from the IGCSE course.
