Class IX IGCSE students turned into learning buddies today!
In a role reversal activity, students came to the board one by one to explain and solve questions of Ex. 9.9 on Applications of simplification of surds.
Teaching their peers helped them understand the concept better and boosted their confidence.
As part of our exam preparation, students discussed and learnt about Command Words in IGCSE Mathematics.
Students often understand the concept but lose marks because they don't interpret the question correctly. Every command word gives a clue about what the examiner is looking for.
For example:
1. Calculate / Work out: You must show your calculation and working to get full method marks.
2. State / Write down: No working is required. Give the direct answer.
3. Show that...: The answer is already given. You need to show clear, logical steps to prove it.
4. Give your answer correct to...: Rounding instructions must be followed carefully, otherwise marks are lost.
5. Explain / Justify: Give a mathematical reason in words, not just numbers.
6. Sketch / Draw: 'Sketch' needs the correct shape and important values, while 'Draw' needs accuracy.
and many more.
This helped students understand not just what to answer, but how to present the answer as per the demand of the question. This clarity will help them avoid losing easy marks and approach their exams with more confidence.
On the auspicious occasion of Ram Navmi and Dussehra, we wish all our students and parents joy, peace and prosperity.
May these festivals inspire us to follow the path of truth, goodness and righteousness.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy Vijayadashami!
A Club Exhibition was held in Cambridge Wing on Oct 16, 2026 (Friday) where students displayed different science and mathematics models like women safety, clinometer, fog harvesting, pi approximation model, smart greenhouse, energy efficient roadways, transformation etc.
Today, students of IGCSE Maths were made aware of key exam hall practices to help maximize their performance.
A small shift in approach can make a big difference in the final result. We discussed how attention to detail, clear presentation, and smart time management often help students secure those extra marks that matter.
Please refer to the image attached for the summary discussed in class.
Keep these points in mind during practice and in the upcoming exams.
Keep Learning!
