Why build your own IGCSE math flashcards

Most ready-made decks cover a generic syllabus, so the gaps that cost marks rarely line up with them. Making your own IGCSE math flashcards from your teacher's worksheets, past paper mark schemes or class notes keeps every card tied to the topics you are being tested on.

  • Cards built from your own worksheets, mark schemes and class notes
  • Formulas, definitions and worked-method questions in one deck
  • Spaced repetition so weak topics come back before the exam
  • Edit any card before you study, so the wording matches your teacher's
Example IGCSE math flashcards (Algebra and Geometry)
What is the quadratic formula?x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a, used to solve ax² + bx + c = 0 when the equation does not factorise easily.
State Pythagoras' theorem.a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse, the longest side opposite the right angle in a right-angled triangle.
How do you find the gradient of a line through (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)?m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁), the change in y divided by the change in x.
Area and circumference of a circle with radius r?A = πr² and C = 2πr, so the circumference is the perimeter and the area is the space inside.
Formula for compound interest after n years at rate r%?A = P(1 + r/100)ⁿ, where P is the principal, the amount invested at the start.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, Word documents, plain notes or photos of pages. Text is read from images, so handwritten worksheets scanned on your phone still work.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss return sooner and cards you know fade into longer gaps, so you spend time on the topics that need it before your exam.

Study anywhere

Review in the browser on the free plan. Students on Plus can export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV to print a revision sheet or keep studying in another app.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a past paper, a topic summary, a set of slides or a photo of your class notes. Plain text and PDFs both work.

Generate your cards

DeckOwl pulls out key terms, formulas and worked-method questions and turns them into flashcards you can edit before you study.

Review on a schedule

Work through the deck each day. Spaced repetition decides what you see next based on how well you recalled each card.

Good maths cards test the method as well as the answer. A card that asks for the formula, the condition for using it, and a short worked example makes you practise the steps you will need in the exam, not just recognise the wording.

Start with the topics you find hardest, review them daily in short sessions, and let the schedule bring back the cards you keep missing. Three or four sessions a week is usually enough to keep earlier topics from fading.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for IGCSE math?

Aim for one card per formula, definition or method step in a topic, which often means 20 to 40 cards per topic. Smaller, focused decks are easier to review daily than one large deck.

Which IGCSE math topics work best as flashcards?

Formulas, key definitions, angle and area rules, and the steps of standard methods such as solving simultaneous equations all suit flashcards. Longer multi-step problems work better as quiz questions.

Can I export my IGCSE math flashcards?

Yes, on the Plus plan ($39/year or $7.99/month) you can export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
