Additional Mathematics is a UK qualification pilot scheme in its final year of implementation for a GCSE level qualification in mathematics which is applied to a range of problems set out in a different format to the standard Mathematics GCSE. This has been formed because of the standard secondary schools in England offering two GCSE qualifications in Science and English but only one in Mathematics and as Mathematics is also a core subject it needs to be viewed on the same level as the other two core subjects (Science and English.)

Additional Mathematics in Singapore

In Singapore, Additional Mathematics is an optional subject offered to pupils in Secondary School who have an aptitude in Mathematics and are in Normal (Academic) stream or Express stream. The syllabus covered is slightly more in depth as compared to Mathematics. Additional Mathematics is also a prerequisite for students who are intending to offer H2 Mathematics and H2 Further Mathematics at A-level if they choose to enter a Junior college after Secondary School. Students without Additional Mathematics at the 'O' level will usually offer H1 Mathematics instead.

Format for Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate Education (GCE) Ordinary Level (Express stream Additional Mathematics paper) is as follows:

Paper 1 (Duration 2 Hours) A variety of compulsory questions are being set, with a mark weighting from 1 Mark to maximum mark of 7. The total weighting of the paper is 80 marks and constitutes to 44% of the O Level Additional Mathematics grade.

Paper 2 (Duration 2 Hours 30 Minutes) A variety of compulsory questions are set. One of the questions would be a plotting question where one is required to plot a given graph on to a piece of graph paper. This can be either tested in Paper 1 or Paper 2. The total weighting of the paper is 100 marks and constitutes to 56% of the O Level Additional Mathematics grade.

A variety of topics are tested - Differentiation, Integration, Advanced Trigonometry, Binomial Expansion, Surds, Indices, Plane Geometry and many more.

Further Pure Maths IGCSE

Starting from 2012, Edexcel and AQA have started a new course, now that Additional Maths has been abolished, which is an IGCSE in Further Maths. Edexcel and AQA both offer completely different courses, Edexcel including the calculation of solids formed through integration, AQA not touching on integration. AQA's syllabus mainly offers further algebra, with the factor theorem and more complex algebra such as algebraic fractions as well as differentiation up to and including the calculation of normals to a curve. AQA's syllabus also includes a lot of matrices work, which is an AS Further Mathematics topic. AQA's syllabus is much more famous than Edexcel's, mainly for its controversial decision to award an A* with Distinction(A^), a grade higher than the maximum possible grade in any Level 2 qualification; it is known colloquially as a Super A* or A**.

Additional Mathematics in Malaysia

In Malaysia, Additional Mathematics is offered as an elective to upper secondary students studying within the public education system. This subject is included in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examination. Science stream students are required to apply Additional Mathematics as one of the subjects in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examination. Additional Mathematics is an optional subject for students who are from arts or commerce streams. Additional Mathematics in Malaysia which is commonly known as Add Maths covers various topics including function, differentiation, integration, indices and logarithms, statistics, index numbers, trigonometric functions, solution of triangles, linear programming, permutations and combinations, linear law, vectors, quadratic equation and function, simultaneous equation, geometry coordinate, circular measure, progression, probability and probability distribution, and motion along a straight line.

Format for Additional Mathematics Exam based on the Malaysia Certificate of Education is as follows:

Paper 1 (Duration 2 Hours) A total of 25 questions tested based on the student's knowledge to grasp on the concepts and formulas learned during their 2 years of learning. Each questions contains at least 2 subsets of questions with marks ranging from 2 - 5 marks.The total weighting of the paper is 80 marks and constitutes to 44% of the grade.

Paper 2 (Duration 2 hours 30 minutes) Questions are categorised into 3 sections: A, B and C. Section A contains 6 questions that are compulsory to be answered. Section B contains 5 questions which students are given the choice to answer 4 questions out of 5 of them. Section C contains 4 questions where students are only required to answer 2 out of 4 of the given questions. This paper tests the student's ability to apply various concepts and formulas in real-life situations.The total weighting of the paper is 100 marks and constitutes to 56% of the grade.

Additional Mathematics in Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, the syllabus of HKCEE additional mathematics covered two main topics, algebra and calculus. In algebra, some topics are mathematical induction, binomial theorem, trigonometry, inequalities. In calculus, differentiation, integration, and 2D-vectors. After the replacement of the new syllabus, i.e. the module 2 of mathematics, some new topics are added: matrix and determinant, and an introduction to the Euler's number.
