Suggested Scheme of Work


Cambridge IGCSE Core and Extended Mathematics – Core content
This Scheme of Work has been devised to follow a logical route through the textbook for students following the Core content of the syllabus and using the Core and
Extended textbook. Its aim is for students to complete the course by the end of the second term in the second year of study; this will then allow time for revision and
preparation for their exams. The chapters have been divided into fifteen blocks each with 14 hours of teaching time; this roughly equates to four weeks’ work, depending
upon individual timetables. The timings are generous to allow for some flexibility in this area.

If necessary, the blocks can be interchanged to allow for local conditions, preferences, etc. Where prior knowledge is required before starting a block, this is listed in the
‘Notes’ column in the Scheme of Work; please read this carefully to ensure necessary learning has taken place before attempting the work.
Similarly, the order in which each chapter is completed can be rearranged within each block if resources or timetabling dictates but, once again, some care needs to be
taken to ensure the necessary prior learning has taken place.

Please note that although the Core & Extended textbook covers all the Core syllabus content, this book is aimed particularly at students studying the Extended syllabus.
Our Cambridge IGCSE™ Core Mathematics Student’s Book provides a deeper level of support for the Core syllabus content and would be more suited for students
focusing on the Core syllabus only.
