A Structured Programme Developing Stronger GCSE Knowledge and Problem-Solving Skills

Develop the deeper mathematical understanding, confidence and exam skills needed to tackle more demanding GCSE questions.

Level 3 is the third stage of the HikmaX Maths Pathway. It builds on the core skills developed in Level 2 and advances students into more challenging algebra, graphs, geometry, statistics and problem-solving.

Students are placed according to their current mathematical ability—not their age or school year. This makes Level 3 suitable for Key Stage 3 students ready for greater challenge, as well as GCSE students progressing beyond foundational content.

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

What Students Will Learn

  • Prime factors, HCF and LCM, indices, standard form and recurring decimals

  • Percentages, compound interest, depreciation and reverse percentages

  • Ratio, direct and inverse proportion, and compound measures

  • Equations, rearranging formulae, sequences and inequalities

  • Expanding and factorising, quadratics and simultaneous equations

  • Linear, real-life, quadratic, cubic and reciprocal graphs

  • Surface area, volume, sectors and arc lengths

  • Angles, similarity, constructions, bearings, Pythagoras and trigonometry

  • Circle theorems and vectors

  • Probability, Venn diagrams, cumulative frequency, box plots and data interpretation

Every topic is taught in a clear, logical order, building on the knowledge and skills students have already developed.

How the Programme Works

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

Lessons are interactive, and students can raise their hand whenever they need help. The teacher guides them through questions step by step, while the rest of the class also benefits from the explanation.

Students practise real GCSE exam questions as each topic is taught, helping them develop their exam skills throughout the programme.

Regular homework reinforces learning, identifies gaps and builds confidence with more demanding questions.

By the End of Level 3, Students Should Be Able To

  • Demonstrate a secure understanding of intermediate GCSE Maths topics

  • Apply mathematical methods to multi-step and unfamiliar problems

  • Work confidently with algebra, graphs, geometry and data

  • Approach more demanding GCSE questions with greater independence

  • Progress to Level 4 with the knowledge needed for advanced Higher Tier Mathematics

The Result

Level 3 develops students into confident and capable GCSE mathematicians. They deepen their understanding, strengthen their exam technique and prepare for the advanced Higher Tier content taught in Level 4.
