Curriculum Overview
Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics is tiered to enable effective differentiation for learners. The Core subject content is intended for learners targeting grades C–G, and the Extended subject content is intended for learners targeting grades A*–C. The Extended subject content contains the Core subject content as well as additional content. The subject content is organised by topic and is not presented in a teaching order. This content structure and the use of tiering allows flexibility for teachers to plan delivery in a way that is appropriate for their learners. Learners are expected to use techniques listed in the content and apply them to solve problems with or without the use of a calculator, as appropriate.
