About this course
This home study course covers the intermediate tier and students have an optional section for the Higher Tier so you can choose which tier would be most suitable. The course also includes free access to Twig educational videos and the course will refer to specific videos to support your learning and offer greater context to your studies.
The course enables students to:
Develop their knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts and techniques.
Acquire a foundation of mathematical skills for further study in the subject or related areas.
Enjoy using and applying mathematical techniques and concepts, and become confident to use mathematics to solve problems.
Appreciate the importance of mathematics in society, employment and study.
There are no prerequisites for starting this course.
Please Note: We cannot accept students who are under 16 years old on this course. We do have an alternative IGCSE course option for students who are under 16.
Student Support:
Every student receives a personal tutor with whom they should keep in regular contact. All tutors are fully qualified experienced teachers holding either a Postgraduate Certificate in Education or a degree in education. Most work from home and are able to offer flexible contact times. The tutor will contact students with an introductory letter and a telephone call to help decide on a study plan. They will also let the student know the best ways and times for contact.
There is no limit on how often you can contact your tutor. The advice and encouragement our tutors provide are an important part of your learning experience. You can contact your tutor by Phone, Post or Email. There are tutor-marked assignments (TMA's) in every course. These help the student to consolidate their learning and prepare for examinations.
All tutors have a Freephone 0800 telephone number and most will have Skype capabilities. Whilst you are still actively submitting assignments, you should expect to be in contact with your tutor regularly. Remember, to get the most out of your tutor, you will need to tell them when you need assistance.

The Syllabus:
The Maths IGCSE course is designed to prepare students for the Edexcel IGCSE in Mathematics (Syllabus 4MA1) for examinations in May/June 2020 or later years.
The course covers both the foundation and higher tier levels and it is a personal choice which you decide to complete. You only need to decide which tier to choose when you arrange your exams, and this can be discussed with your tutor as you progress with your studies.
Some students may only need to obtain a Grade 4 or 5 if they are progressing onto a further education course, in which case you would probably be best sitting the foundation papers while some courses such as a Maths A Level may only accept students if they have completed the IGCSE at higher tier.
Examinations:
The assessment for both the foundation and higher tier levels are by two written examinations. There is no coursework with this specification.
-
Paper 1 - Maths 1 (2 Hours) is 50% of the total marks. The paper is a written paper (with calculator)
-
Paper 2 - Maths 2 (2 Hours) is 50% of the total marks. The paper is a written paper (with calculator).
