IGCSE Mathematics is a fundamental building block of education. With this maths online course you will cover core mathematical concepts like numbers, equations, sequences, geometry, vectors and statistics. This IGCSE online course differs from the GCSE in allowing calculators in both paper.
This course is ideal preparation for A-Level Maths studying as well as developing core life skills which will be invaluable in the work place or at home.
This is the E-book version of the course with the full course content and quizzes, but without tutor support or Tutor Marked Assessment (TMA) marking. If you would like to add tutor support onto your course, please contact us as this can be added on for just £35 per course if you are already a student with us.
