Subject content
This syllabus gives you the flexibility to design a course that will interest, challenge and engage your learners.
Where appropriate you are responsible for selecting resources and examples to support your learners’
study. These should be appropriate for the learners’ age, cultural background and learning context as well as
complying with your school policies and local legal requirements.
Knowledge of the content of Cambridge O Level Mathematics (or an equivalent syllabus) is assumed.
Cambridge O Level material which is not included in the subject content, such as surds and indices, will not be
tested directly but it may be required in response to questions on other topics.
Proofs of results will not be required unless specifically mentioned in the syllabus.
Candidates will be expected to be familiar with the scientific notation for the expression of compound units,
e.g. 5 m s–1 for 5 metres per second.
A List of formulas is provided on page 2 of the examination papers for candidates to refer to during the
examinations. Please note that not all required formulas are given; the ‘Notes and examples’ column of the
subject content will indicate where a formula is given in the examination papers and when a formula is not
given i.e. knowledge of a formula is required.
Formulas for:
• curved surface area of a cone
• surface area of a sphere
• volume of a pyramid or a cone
• volume of a sphere
• sine rule
• cosine rule
• area of a non-right-angled triangle (no diagram is given in the List of formulas)
are also given in the List of formulas to assist candidates in the examinations.
