Introduction

The Edexcel IGCSE in Mathematics (Specification A) is designed for use in schools

and colleges. It is part of a suite of qualifications offered by Edexcel.

About this scheme of work

It provides opportunities for you to extend and enrich the mathematical learning of

your Higher Tier students. It is assumed that Higher Tier students have knowledge

of all Foundation Tier content. This scheme of work should be used together with

the higher tier course planner in the IGCSE in Mathematics (Specification A)

Teacher’s Guide.

Through teaching the Edexcel GCE Core Mathematics 1 unit alongside the Higher

Tier content, you will be able to prepare your Higher Tier students for the transition

from Level 2 Mathematics to AS Mathematics, and beyond. It also enables you to

extend several topic areas of the Mathematics IGCSE Higher Tier content.

This scheme of work introduces the following topics from Edexcel GCE Unit Core

Mathematics 1 in the first year of course:

Algebra and functions

Coordinate Geometry

The remaining topics from Edexcel GCE Unit Core Mathematics 1 could be taught

during the second year of the course:

Sequences and series

Differentiation

Integration.

This means that the scheme of work extends the following topic areas:

1.4 Powers and roots

2.2 Algebraic manipulation

2.7 Quadratic equations

2.8 Inequalities

3.3 Graphs.

It introduces new concepts within the following topic area:

3.4 Calculus – Differentiation.

It also introduces the following topic areas not included in the IGCSE:

Sequences and series

Integration.

Content Area of specification

Squares and square roots 1.4

Cubes and cube roots 1.4

A/A* notes/tips

In order for students to aspire to the top grades, it is essential that they

are able to use algebraic manipulation and index notation confidently

Remind students that when writing fractions, it is not usual to write surds in the

denominator, because without a calculator, it is not always easy to work out the

value of the fraction, eg 2

1 , but ‘rationalising’ the denominator will help clear

the surds from the denominator

ALGEBRA

Module 1 – Algebraic manipulation [Year 1] Time: 4 – 6 hours

Target grades: A*/A/B/C/D

Content Area of specification

Multiplying a single term over a bracket 2.2

Factorising by taking out a single common factor 2.2

Finding and simplifying the product of two linear expressions,

eg (2x + 3)(3x – 1), (3x – 2y)(5x + 3y) 2.2

Factorising quadratic expressions, including the difference

of two squares 2.2

Adding and subtracting algebraic fractions, including simplifying

algebraic fractions by cancelling common factors 2.2

Numerator and/or the denominator may be numeric, linear or quadratic 2.2

Notes

Emphasise importance of using the correct symbolic notation, for example 3a rather

than 3 a or a3. Students should be aware that there may be a need to remove the

numerical HCF of a quadratic expression before factorising it in order to make

factorisation more obvious

A/A* notes/tips for Higher tier

Students need to be reminded that they should always factorise algebraic

expressions completely, setting their work out clearly

In order for students to work towards to the top grades, it is essential that they

are confidently able to manipulate algebraic expressions in a variety of

situations

When simplifying algebraic fractions, students should be encouraged to fully

factorise both the numerator and the denominator, where possible

A typical common error is for students to ‘cancel out’ the terms in x

Simplifying algebraic fractions is usually a challenging topic for many students.

A key point is that algebraic fractions are actually generalised arithmetic, and

that the same rules apply

Notes

Remind students that they should factorise a quadratic before using the formula

A/A* notes/tips

Remind students that it is important to always factorise completely before

resorting to using the quadratic formula

When applying the quadratic formula, students must substitute the correct

values into the formula. They should be reminded that rounding or truncating

during the process leads to inaccurate solutions

Often solving equations with algebraic fractions is a challenge for most students,

however they should be encouraged to show their working out through using a

few lines of correct algebra. Remind students of the value of retaining the

structure of the equation throughout their working, rather than merely treating

the algebra as an expression to be simplified

Understanding the terms domain and range 3.2

Understanding which parts of the domain may need to be excluded 3.2

Understanding and using composite function fg and inverse function f –1 3.2

Prior knowledge

Algebra: Modules 1, 2 and 3

A/A* notes/tips

This tends to be demanding topic for students and in order to deepen their

understanding of how to apply their knowledge of functions in different types of

questions, they should be given plenty of practice

Students may need to be reminded that f(x) = y

When solving f(x) = g(x), given the graphs of both functions, remind students

that they should give their answers as solutions of x

Remind students that when one function is followed by another, the result is a

composite function, eg fg(x) means do f first followed by g, where the domain of

f is the range of g

Students need to understand, and be able to, use the concepts of domain and

range, as this will enable them to develop an appropriate working knowledge of

functions. In particular, students must be familiar with the concept that division

by zero is undefined,

eg for g(x) = 2

1

x, 02 , which means

x = 2 must be excluded from the domain of g

x

For inverse functions, remind students that the inverse of f(x) is the function

that ‘undoes’ whatever f(x) has done, and that the notation f1(x) is used

It is helpful to remind students that if the inverse function is not obvious then:

– Step 1: write the function as y =…

– Step 2: change any x to y, and any y to x

– Step 3: make y the subject, giving the inverse function

Prior knowledge

Algebra: Modules 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9

Notes

Students should be made aware that they should not use rulers to join plotted

points on non-linear graphs

When plotting points or reading off values from a graph, the scales on the axes

should be checked carefully

A/A* notes/tips

Remind students that when finding an estimate for the gradient of a graph

y = f(x) at given point, a tangent drawn at this point is helpful, although a

related, correct division, to find the gradient, is required to gain top marks in a

question

Students should recognise that cubic graphs have distinctive shapes that

depend on the coefficient of 3x

Students should recognise that reciprocal graphs have x as the denominator,

and that they produce a type of curve called a hyperbola. An awareness of the

concept of the smallest (minimum) value of y, and the value of x where this

happens on the graph, is helpful

Students should appreciate that an accurately drawn graph can be used to solve

equations that may prove difficult to solve by other methods. They should also

appreciate that most graphs of real-life situations are curves rather than

straight lines. Information on rates of change can still be found by drawing a

tangent to a curve, and using this to estimate the gradient of the curve at this

point

graphical method of solving simultaneous equations, in particular when one

equation is linear and the other equation is nonlinear

function, and that the gradient of a curve can also be represented by dx

dy

Students should be encouraged to set their work out appropriately, maintaining

the structure of their solution, as this will aid their understanding, and revision,

of the topic, particularly as it increases in complexity

Students need to understand the turning points are points on the curve where

the gradient is zero. They should also be able to distinguish between a minimum

turning point and a maximum turning point

Students need to be able to apply their knowledge of differentiation to the

motion of a particle in a straight line, including speed and acceleration
