Level 4 – GCSE Higher
Advanced Higher Tier mathematics, reasoning and exam skills for students working towards GCSE Grades 7–9.

Level 4 is the final stage of the HikmaX Maths Pathway, designed to develop the advanced mathematical understanding and problem-solving skills required for the highest GCSE grades.
Building on the knowledge developed in Level 3, students progress into demanding Higher Tier topics across algebra, functions, graphs, geometry, trigonometry, probability and mathematical proof.
The programme is designed for students who have a secure understanding of earlier GCSE content and are ready to work towards Grades 7–9.
Surds, indices, recurring decimals, bounds and error intervals
Direct and inverse proportion
Harder quadratics, including factorisation, the quadratic formula and completing the square
Algebraic fractions, rearranging formulae, simultaneous equations and inequalities
Sequences, including Fibonacci, geometric and quadratic sequences
Functions, iteration and advanced graphs
Advanced trigonometry, 3D geometry, circle theorems, sectors and arcs
Vectors and mathematical proof
Histograms, cumulative frequency and box plots
Product rule for counting, conditional probability and probability equations
Topics are taught in a carefully planned sequence, developing the connections, reasoning and problem-solving skills required for Higher Tier Mathematics.
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 challenging questions step by step, while explaining the reasoning and methods needed to solve them effectively.
Higher Tier GCSE exam questions are integrated throughout the programme, helping students learn how to apply their knowledge to unfamiliar and multi-step problems.
Regular homework reinforces learning, exposes students to a wider range of challenging questions and develops the independence required for the highest GCSE grades.
Level 4 prepares students for the most demanding areas of GCSE Mathematics. They develop advanced mathematical reasoning, stronger exam technique and the confidence to tackle the challenging problems required for Grades 7–9.
