Mathematics Form 1 — JC & IGCSE Foundations
About Course
Maths should make sense. This course teaches every Form 1 topic the way a great teacher would: the why first, then clear worked examples with one step per line, then plenty of practice with tap-to-reveal answers.
It covers two syllabuses at once: the Botswana Junior Certificate (JCE) Mathematics syllabus for Form 1 and the Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics framework (Stage 7), which leads straight into IGCSE.
Every unit has:
- a colourful lesson with diagrams, key words and “Watch out!” common mistakes
- 12–15 practice questions at three levels (warm-up, core, stretch) with full step-by-step answers
- Maths Live: Explore it live (move sliders and see the maths change), Why the rule works, a Practice machine with unlimited fresh questions, Spot the mistake and Remember it flashcards
- how the topic appears in the JCE and later in IGCSE
Each term ends with a test, the year has a hands-on project and an end-of-year exam with a full mark scheme.

- Place value, ordering and rounding
