The wording has been updated but the meaning is the same. The new syllabus includes details of how it helps students develop the Cambridge learner attributes – confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged.  \nWe have added:  \n• surds in Number (Extended only)  \n• exact trigonometric values in Trigonometry (Extended only)  \n• domain and range in functions (Extended only)  \n• -½ and ½ in the list of values for n in graphs of functions of the form axn (Extended only) .  \n(We have not added any new content to the Core assessment.)  \nWe have removed:  \n• add and subtract vectors (Core only)  \n• multiply a vector by a scalar (Core only)  \n• proper subsets linear programming (Extended only)  \n• box-and-whisker plots (Extended only)  \n• congruence criteria (knowledge of congruence itself is still in the syllabus) (Extended only) .  \nCambridge IGCSE (9–1) Mathematics 0980  \nCambridge IGCSE (9–1) Mathematics 0980  \nChanges to assessment  \nWe have balanced the two papers at each tier:  \n• The duration, total number of marks, weighting and style are the same for the two papers at each tier.  \nWe have introduced a non-calculator paper at each tier:  \n• Paper 1 (Core) and Paper 2 (Extended) will be non-calculator papers.  \n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| Paper 1 Paper 3\u003Cbr>(non-calculator) (calculator)\u003Cbr>Duration 1 hour 30 mins 1 hour 30 mins Total marks 80 marks 80 marks Item types Structured and\u003Cbr>unstructured questions Structured and\u003Cbr>unstructured questions Other information Calculator not allowed Candidates answer all questions 50% of total for Core Calculator required Candidates answer all questions 50% of total for Core\u003Cbr>Paper 2 Paper 4\u003Cbr>(non-calculator) (calculator)\u003Cbr>Duration 2 hours 2 hours Total marks 100 marks 100 marks Item types Structured and\u003Cbr>unstructured questions Structured and\u003Cbr>unstructured questions Other information Calculator not allowed Candidates answer all questions 50% of total for Extended Calculator required Candidates answer all questions 50% of total for Extended |  |\n\nFirst assessment from 2025  \nHow does this affect teaching?  \n• The teaching time is not affected by these changes.  \n• Teachers should review the additional guidance and notes information in the syllabus content.  \n• Teachers should check the updated Notes/ Examples column in the syllabus content.  \n• Learners will need to practise:  \n– selecting the correct formula from the formula sheet and knowing when to use them  \n– solving problems and showing their working without a calculator  \n– working with a range of ","cbCainkyg5Gp6Vtz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainkyg5Gp6Vtz","pdf",1252515,"English","# Changes to content\n## Changes to assessment\n# First assessment from 2025\n## How does this affect teaching?\n## What support will be available to help teachers deliver the updated course?","[{\"question\":\"What content changes were made for Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics 0980?\",\"answer\":\"Major content changes were not introduced, but learning outcomes and the Notes/Examples column were updated for clearer teaching depth.
