Group 5 :: Mathematics
• Integrated Math I
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Pre-Algebra or Algebra 1
A course in which students learn mathematics in the context of practical applications organized in five concepts and skills: Number, Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, Statistics and Probability, and Discrete Mathematics. The course is intended for students with varied abilities. It is designed to build confidence and encourage an appreciation of mathematics in students who do not anticipate a need for mathematics in their future studies. It is expected that this course is part of a two-year sequence.
• Integrated Math I Honors
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, or Algebra 1 Honors
A course in which students learn mathematics in the context of practical applications organized in five concepts and skills: Number, Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, Statistics and Probability, and Discrete Mathematics. The course is intended for students who have a sound knowledge of basic mathematical concepts while allowing them to develop the skills needed to advance knowledge and understanding. It is expected that this course is part of a two-year sequence.
• Integrated Math I Advanced Honors
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra 1 or Algebra 1 Honors
A course in which students learn mathematics in the context of practical applications organized in five concepts and skills: Number, Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, Statistics and Probability, and Discrete Mathematics. The course is a rigorous course intended for students who wish to pursue further studies in mathematics. It is expected that this course is part of a two-year sequence.
• Integrated Math II
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Integrated Math I or Integrated Math I Honors
A course which builds on the mathematics learned in Integrated Math I with more advanced topics from the five concepts and skills: Number, Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, Statistics and Probability, and Discrete Mathematics. The course is intended for students with varied abilities. It is designed to build confidence and encourage an appreciation of mathematics in students who do not anticipate a need for mathematics in their future studies. It is expected that this course is part of a two-year sequence.
• Integrated Math II Honors
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Integrated Math I, Integrated Math I Honors, or Integrated Math I Advanced Honors
A course which builds on the mathematics learned in Integrated Math I with more advanced topics from the five concepts and skills: Number, Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, Statistics and Probability, and Discrete Mathematics. The course is intended for students who have a sound knowledge of basic mathematical concepts while allowing them to develop the skills needed to advance knowledge and understanding. It is expected that this course is part of a two-year sequence.
• Integrated Math II Advanced Honors
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Integrated Math I Honors or Integrated Math I Advanced Honors
A course which builds on the mathematics learned in Integrated Math I with more advanced topics from the five concepts and skills: Number, Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, Statistics and Probability, and Discrete Mathematics. The course is a rigorous course intended for students who wish to pursue further studies in mathematics. It is expected that this course is part of a two-year sequence.
Diploma Programme Courses
Courses for the Diploma Programme are taken over two years and are offered at standard level (SL) and higher level (HL). HL courses represent 240 teaching hours; SL courses cover 150 hours. By arranging work in this fashion, students are able to explore some subjects in depth and some more broadly over the two-year period.
• IB Math Studies 11 SL
• IB Math Studies 12 SL
This course caters to students with varied backgrounds and abilities. It is designed to build confidence and encourage an appreciation of mathematics in students who do not anticipate a need for mathematics in their future studies. The course consists of the study of eight topics: graphic display calculator, number and algebra, sets, logic and probability, functions, geometry and trigonometry, statistics, introduction to differential calculus, and financial mathematics.
• IB Math 11 SL
• IB Math 12 SL
This course caters to students who already possess knowledge of basic mathematical concepts and who are equipped with the skills needed to apply simple mathematical techniques correctly. The majority of these students will expect to need a sound mathematical background as they prepare for future studies in subjects such as chemistry, economics, psychology and business. The course consists of the study of seven topics: algebra, functions and equations, circular functions and trigonometry, matrices, vectors, statistics and probability, and calculus.
• IB Math 11 HL
• IB Math 12 HL
This course caters to students with a good background in mathematics who are competent in a range of analytical and technical skills. The majority of these students will be expecting to include math as a major component of their university studies, either as a subject in its own right or within courses such as physics, engineering and technology. The course consists of the study of seven topics: algebra, functions and equations, circular functions and trigonometry, matrices, vectors, statistics and probability, calculus; plus one of four optional topics: statistics, set, relations and groups, series and differential equations and discrete mathematics.
