Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint Mathematics

What is the main objective of the Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint Mathematics exam?

This exam serves as an important milestone, helping to assess the Mathematics competency of students at the end of the Lower Secondary stage (usually at the end of Grade 8 or 9). The results provide a detailed report on the student's abilities, serving as a basis for preparing and choosing a suitable pathway for the IGCSE stage.

How does this course differ from Primary Checkpoint Math?

Compared to the Primary level, Lower Secondary Checkpoint Math demands significantly greater depth and higher abstract thinking. The program transitions from basic concepts to solving complex problems, introducing Algebra topics and geometric reasoning at a more difficult level.

Are calculators allowed in the exam?

Yes. The examination typically includes 2 written papers, one of which is a non-calculator paper to test calculation skills and number sense. The other paper allows the use of a scientific calculator to solve more complex problems.

My child struggles with Algebra. How does Intertu provide support?

With a 1-on-1 learning pathway, teachers at Intertu will focus precisely on the areas of knowledge where your child is facing difficulties. We will break down abstract algebraic concepts, provide relatable examples, and offer a variety of exercises for practice, thereby building confidence and mastering knowledge firmly.

How is "problem-solving skill" understood in this exam?

It is the ability to apply mathematical techniques to non-routine problems or real-life situations. Students need to analyze the problem themselves, choose the appropriate solution method, and present the steps logically, rather than just mechanically applying a formula.

Why is this subject still important if my child will not major in Mathematics?

This program doesn't just teach Math; more importantly, it teaches how to think. Skills such as logical reasoning, analysis, and problem-solving cultivated through this course are extremely valuable transferable skills, essential for all fields of study at the university level and for future careers.
