What is Mathematics?
The One Year IGCSE content includes number, algebra, geometry, probability, statistics, calculus (only differentiation and its application to motion of a particle). The One Year IGCSE course is suitable for students who move from Year 10 at U.K. schools to study with us and for international students requiring a one year course before progressing to A-Level or BTEC.
