About this course

IGCSE further maths online course

Want to extend your understanding of maths? This is a must do course for capable maths students seeking to excel in maths at a higher level. Studying further mathematics sets out the knowledge, understanding, skills and assessment objectives beyond the IGCSE course and it’s designed for the most able students.

Across KS4, pupils complete blocks of work in number, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics.

The aims of the international GCSE in further mathematics qualification are to:

  • Provide additional study for those whose mathematical competence may have developed early
  • Develop an understanding of mathematical reasoning and processes, and the ability to relate different areas of mathematics
  • Enable students to acquire knowledge and skills with confidence, satisfaction and enjoyment
  • Develop mathematical skills for further study in the subject or related areas.

In the October of year 11, 12 and 13 parents and guardians will receive an email asking which exams the learner intends to take, and where they would like to take them. Parents and guardians must inform King’s InterHigh if they need assistance finding an exam centre by mid-October.

King’s InterHigh can support you in finding a local exam centre. It is then down to the individual to register with the centre of choice and pay the exam fees to the centre directly.
