Cambridge Lower Secondary Maths (0862) Practice

What Mathematics covers at each stage

A quick look at what's new before you pick a topic below. For the full picture across all three subjects, see the complete Stage 7–9 guide.

Stage 7 · Age 11–12

Number fluency — integers, place value, rounding, decimals and fractions — plus an introduction to algebra, basic geometry and statistical investigation.

Stage 8 · Age 12–13

Percentages, ratio and indices deepen in Number; sequences and linear graphs in Algebra; transformations and bearings in Geometry; probability and frequency diagrams in Statistics.

Stage 9 · Age 13–14

Standard form, irrational numbers, simultaneous equations, compound percentages and Pythagoras' theorem — direct preparation for Checkpoint and IGCSE.

What is Mathematics at Cambridge Lower Secondary?

Mathematics boosters are single-topic Cambridge Lower Secondary practice packs covering Number, Algebra, Geometry and Measure, and Statistics and Probability — each with a cheat sheet, 20 leveled questions and full worked solutions.

📐 Number — place value, fractions, decimals, percentages and the four operations
🔣 Algebra — expressions, equations, sequences and graphing relationships
📏 Geometry and Measure — shapes, angles, area, volume and units
📊 Statistics and Probability — data handling, averages, charts and chance

How do I use a Mathematics booster?

Read the cheat sheet first. All the key facts and formulas for the topic, in 5 minutes.
Attempt all 20 questions. Work through Foundation → Standard → Stretch in order — each band builds on the last.
Check with the worked solutions. Read the error flags — they show the mistakes Cambridge examiners see most often.
Use the parent and tutor guide. Score bands and study tips tell you what to focus on next.

Common questions

Stage 7 is roughly Year 7 or Class 7, Stage 8 is Year 8 or Class 8, and Stage 9 is Year 9 or Class 9. If your child's school follows the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme, the stage will match their year group. If you are not sure, start with Stage 8 and see how your child gets on with one pack before buying more.

No. CoreMark is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education. These are original practice papers written in the style of Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint. They are not past papers and not official Cambridge material.

A maths booster is a focused practice pack covering one topic from the Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics syllabus (Stages 7, 8 or 9). Each pack contains a one-page cheat sheet, 20 levelled questions (Foundation, Standard, Stretch), full worked solutions, and a parent guide. It is designed for topic-targeted practice rather than broad mixed revision.

By isolating one topic at a time, a maths booster lets students target the specific areas where marks are being lost rather than re-covering ground they already know. Cambridge Checkpoint mark schemes reward precise method and working, which is easier to build through focused topic practice than broad past-paper revision.

CoreMark maths boosters cover Number (fractions, percentages, ratio, standard form), Algebra (expressions, equations, sequences, graphs), Geometry and Measure (transformations, angles, area, volume), and Statistics and Probability — across Stages 7, 8 and 9. Individual topics start at ₹249; a full subject bundle covering all stages is ₹1,299.
