The Second Stage of the HikmaX Maths Pathway

Please note: The full Key Stage 3 mathematics curriculum is also covered across HikmaX Levels 2 and 3.

Level 2 builds on the skills developed in Level 1 and introduces students to the core topics and question styles they will meet in GCSE Mathematics.

Placement is based on current mathematical ability—not age or school year—making the programme suitable for Key Stage 3 students beginning their GCSE journey and learners who need to strengthen essential knowledge before tackling more advanced content.

What Students Will Learn

Topics are taught in a clear, logical sequence, with each lesson building on previously developed knowledge and skills.

  • Negative numbers, BIDMAS, powers, square roots, factors and multiples

  • Rounding, estimation and calculator skills

  • Fractions, decimals, percentages and percentage change

  • Ratio, proportion, exchange rates and best-buy problems

  • Algebraic expressions, substitution and function machines

  • Solving equations, coordinates and linear graphs

  • Units, conversions and scale drawings

  • Area, perimeter, circles, angles and transformations

  • Probability and frequency trees

  • Averages, bar charts, pie charts and frequency polygons

How the Programme Works

Students attend two live online lessons each week, with each lesson lasting one hour.

Lessons are interactive, allowing students to raise their hand and receive step-by-step guidance. The whole class benefits as methods, common mistakes and alternative approaches are explained clearly.

Real GCSE exam questions are practised alongside each relevant topic, making exam preparation part of the learning process from the beginning.

Regular homework reinforces learning, identifies gaps and develops confidence with independent work.

By the End of Level 2, Students Should Be Able To

  • Demonstrate a secure understanding of essential GCSE Mathematics topics

  • Apply their knowledge to GCSE-style and unfamiliar questions

  • Complete calculations involving fractions, percentages and ratio

  • Use basic algebra and solve equations confidently

  • Understand the language and structure of GCSE exam questions

  • Solve multi-step problems with greater independence

  • Progress to Level 3 ready for more demanding GCSE Mathematics

The Result

Students complete Level 2 with stronger mathematical fluency, greater confidence when approaching exam questions and the essential knowledge needed to progress successfully to Level 3.
