Cambridge IGCSE™ and O Level Additional Mathematics Coursebook (Cambridge International IGCSE)

offers additional perspective from other IGCSE Add math books

When I did Additional Mathematics my experience was not great because the textbook was horrible. I bought this book a supplement to my daughter's main textbook so she wouldn't have the same bad experience. I chose this one as it was one of the few Additional Mathematics books on Amazon that let you view inside and it looked promising. I have been reading both this book and her prescribed textbook, comparing how similar topics are handled in each and I find this one to be much clearer and easier to follow.

Yes, one or two chapters are out of sequence, but they are written using exactly the same words as the syllabus. I am writing against one of the overseas reviewers. I am an experienced IGCSE 606 teacher. Sometimes textbook writers think they can provide a better course by changing the sequence a bit. If the teacher prefers, heshe may change back the sequence. No sweat. We used this textbook for the previous syllabus, then switched to the blue Collins, a big mistake. Terrible textbook. Doesn't cover all the materials, many answers are wrong, to a ridiculous level. Pay those graduate students more. We have just switched back to this white book. It's a much better book. Cheers.

Very comprehensive and covers what the syllabus requires. Other textbooks either had more topics than required or less. This was perfect. I also liked the structure in which each chapter was laid out - a brief of the topic, the relevant formulae, Worked examples and the exercises. And the past paper questions at the end of each chapter was very helpful. Was usually getting A or B before I bought this book, post which I got A* consistently.

It's exactly what we were looking for

Good. when compared to icse the syllabus is quite vast and is challenging for students taking in 9th grade.
