We cater to students studying many IB Diploma Programme courses.
IB Diploma Programme Students must take one Mathematics subject and not more than one. Four Mathematics courses are currently available that will have their last assessment in November 2020, and from August 2019 four new Mathematics courses became available which will have their first assessments in May 2021.
The aims of these courses are to enable students to:
Following are the eight currently-running Mathematics Courses:
This course is available only at Standard Level (SL) and has its final assessment in November 2020.
It places an emphasis on applications of mathematics and statistical techniques, and is designed to offer students with varied mathematical backgrounds the opportunity to learn important concepts and techniques and to gain an understanding of a wide variety of mathematical topics. The Mathematical Studies course aims to prepare students to solve problems in a variety of settings, develop more sophisticated mathematical reasoning, and enhance their critical thinking.
The Mathematical Studies curriculum comprises the following seven topics:
Below is a link to the subject brief for Mathematical Studies:
This is a Standard Level (SL) course that has its final assessment in November 2020.
The Mathematics SL course focuses on introducing important mathematical concepts through the development of mathematical techniques. The aim of the course is to introduce students to these concepts in a comprehensible and coherent way, and to encourage them to apply the acquired knowledge to solve realistic problems set in an appropriate context.
The Mathematics SL curriculum comprises the following six topics:
Below is a link to the subject brief for Mathematics SL:
This is a Higher Level (HL) course that has its final assessment in November 2020.
It focuses on developing important mathematical concepts in a comprehensible, coherent and rigorous way, achieved by a carefully balanced approach. Students are encouraged to apply their mathematical knowledge to solve problems set in a variety of meaningful contexts.
The Mathematics HL curriculum comprises the following six compulsory topics:
In addition, students must study one topic from the following four optional topics:
Below is a link to the subject brief for Mathematics HL:
This is a Higher Level (HL) course that has its final assessment in November 2020.
The course caters to students with a very strong background in mathematics who have attained a high degree of competence in a range of analytical and technical skills, and who display considerable interest in the subject. Most of these students will expect to study mathematics at university, either as a subject or as a major component of a related subject.
The Further Mathematics curriculum comprises the following six topics:
Below is a link to the subject brief for Further Mathematics:
This course is taken at either Standard Level (SL) or Higher Level (HL), and has its first assessment in May 2021.
It recognizes the need for analytical expertise in a world where innovation is increasingly dependent on a deep understanding of mathematics, and has a strong emphasis on the ability to construct, communicate and justify correct mathematical arguments.
Students of the Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches course are encouraged to apply their mathematical knowledge to solve abstract problems as well as those set in a variety of meaningful contexts.
The Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches curriculum at both SL and HL comprises the following five components:
Below is a link to the subject brief for Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches at both SL and HL:
This course is taken at either Standard Level (SL) or Higher Level (HL), and has its first assessment in May 2021.
It recognizes the increasing role that mathematics and technology play in a diverse range of fields in a data-rich world, and therefore emphasizes the meaning of mathematics in context by focusing on topics that are often used as applications or in mathematical modelling.
The Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation course includes topics that are traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course such as calculus and statistics. Students are encouraged to solve real-world problems, construct and communicate this mathematically and interpret the conclusions or generalizations.
The Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation curriculum at both SL and HL comprises the following five components:
