Math past papers IGCSE Edexcel (Pearson 4MA1) are the main practice resource for international schools on the Edexcel route. The same search often means Cambridge 0580 — this page links both boards so you use the correct code on your statement of entry.

Tutopiya holds 8 years of IGCSE maths past papers including recent series — downloadable and printable. For all Edexcel subjects, see Edexcel IGCSE past papers (all subjects).

Linear 4MA1 — how the papers work

• Paper 1 and Paper 2 both cover the full syllabus; questions generally increase in difficulty through the paper.
• Method marks matter — show working clearly (Edexcel command words).
• After each paper, mark with the official mark scheme and log weak topics — common mistakes · top tested topics.

Modular maths (4WM1 / 4WM2) — not the same as 4MA1

Some schools use modular units (4WM1, 4WM2, cash-in 4XMA) instead of linear 4MA1. Unit past papers are different entries — see Edexcel modular IGCSE maths. You can still use 4MA1 papers for topic style practice if your teacher agrees.

Cambridge IGCSE maths past papers (0580 / 0607)

• Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (0580 Extended/Core, 0607 where used)

From 2025, Cambridge 0580 uses dedicated calculator and non-calculator papers at each tier — check your syllabus. Do not practise 0580 papers if you sit Edexcel 4MA1 only for timing format; use them for extra topic questions only when your teacher allows.

• Additional Mathematics 0606 (separate qualification)

How to use IGCSE maths past papers

1. Time yourself — full paper, real duration (2 hours per Edexcel paper). Use the Past Paper Timer.
2. Show full working — method marks apply on Edexcel.
3. Mark strictly with the mark scheme same day.
4. Redo wrong questions after revising that topic — IGCSE maths notes if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I download math past papers IGCSE Edexcel?

Use the Tutopiya 4MA1 past paper bank or Pearson’s official site for the latest series.

Is 4MA1 the same as GCSE Maths 1MA1?

No — 4MA1 is International GCSE (overseas schools). UK GCSE uses different codes.

Maths vs math — same papers?

Yes — UK sites often say “maths”; US/international searches often say “math”. Both mean IGCSE Mathematics past papers.

Can I use Cambridge papers for Edexcel?

Topic practice only — always prioritise 4MA1 mark schemes for exam technique.

Foundation or Higher past papers?

Match your tier on your entry; Foundation and Higher papers are not interchangeable.
