The geometrical instruments required for Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (0580 and 0980) are ruler, protractor and a pair of compasses.
There is no formulae sheet provided with Mathematics examinations. Students are not expected to memorise complicated formulae but may need to remember simple equations such as the area of a circle or volume of a cube.
Please refer to section 5.1.6 'Stationery, materials and other equipment' in the Cambridge Handbook. It states:
“Candidates must write their answers legibly in permanent, non-erasable black or dark blue ink”;Candidates may use pencils for mathematical constructions and graphs. Otherwise blue or black ink should be used as (a) it can’t be altered after the examination and (b) the examiner can see the way the student was developing the question even though the final answer may be incorrect.
Yes, students are able to use tracing paper in all the IGCSE Mathematics papers. You will notice that it is an optional item on the front of the examination paper.
Students should write all their answers and working on the question paper.
