Topic outline

  • IGCSE Mathematics Resource Plus overview
    • Surds



    • Learners will learn how to manipulate, simplify and rationalise surds. 

      This unit of work is just one of several approaches that you could take when teaching this topic, and you should aim to adapt the resources to match the ability level of your learners, as well as your school context.


    • Interactive tools

    • show/hide  How can these tools be used?
      These resources are for use with any digital display in your classroom - including a projector, interactive whiteboard or any form of screen sharing technology. When selected, they fill the current available display. The resource is then ready for presentation and annotation.

      As part of your ongoing Resource Plus subscription, we plan to include additional tools. We'd love to know your thoughts and ideas for further development.

    • Test Maker - Surds Examination Questions


    • testmaker-img_tcm149-505892.jpg
    • Test Maker is an online service that makes it easy for you to create high-quality, customised test papers for your learners using Cambridge questions.

      Test Maker is currently available for Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics 0580 and Cambridge IGCSE Additional Mathematics 0606 syllabuses, but although the grading differs for Cambridge IGCSE (9-1) syllabuses, the questions are valid for equivalent Cambridge IGCSE (9-1) and O Level syllabuses.

      Test Maker is available to all Cambridge schools through the Extra Services section of the School Support Hub.
