Mathematics Higher IB HL (11)
Students focus on basic algebraic concepts as sequences and series, logarithms, complex numbers, mathematical induction and matrices. They explore different functions and apply functional methods to a variety of mathematical situations. Students examine the circular functions and are introduced to some important trigonometric identities. They get familiar with the manipulation and presentation of statistical data and the laws of probability. Students are encouraged to apply their mathematical knowledge to solve problems set in a variety of meaningful contexts. They develop insight into mathematical form and structure and develop the skills needed to continue their mathematical growth in other learning environments. Assessments comprise periodic class tests. Final assessment involves two internal assessments (20%), two written exam papers one with and one without the use of a GDC (2x40%).

Mathematics Standard IB SL (11)
Students study Algebra, functions and equations, circular functions/Trigonometry and matrices and develop the ability to read, interpret and solve a given problem using appropriate mathematical terms, organize and present information and data in tabular, graphical and/or diagrammatic forms, know and use appropriate notation and terminology, formulate a mathematical argument and communicate it clearly, select and use appropriate mathematical strategies and techniques, demonstrate an understanding of both the significance and the reasonableness of results, recognize patterns and structures in a variety of situations, and make generalizations, recognize and demonstrate an understanding of the practical applications of mathematics, use appropriate technological devices as mathematical tools, and appropriately use mathematical modelling. They are assessed using previous IB exam questions along with the internally assessed component, the portfolio, which offers students a framework for developing independence in their mathematical learning by engaging in mathematical investigation and mathematical modelling.

Mathematics Studies IB SL (11)
In this course, students focus on a wide variety of mathematical concepts and their applications. Over the course of the year, students will examine number sets, measurement, statistics, linear and quadratic algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The skills that are further developed in this course include: mathematical knowledge, problem solving, and the ability to communicate effectively. Students will be periodically assessed through test and projects. Final assessment involves two final exam papers worth 40% each, and an independent project worth 20%
