iGCSE Maths Foundation

These lessons are designed for learners working towards the Pearson Edexcel International GCSE (Foundation Tier) qualification.

Lessons build strong mathematical understanding through clear teaching, worked examples, guided practice and exam-style questions. The course focuses on developing confidence alongside the knowledge and techniques needed for success in the Foundation examination, with regular opportunities to improve problem-solving, reasoning and calculator skills.

This rolling 12-block pathway allows learners to join at any time. Each 6-lesson block focuses on a key area of the specification and can be studied independently, while continual retrieval practice, mixed review and Foundation exam questions help learners steadily build towards the qualification.
