Mathematics Higher IB HL (12)
Students focus on the basic concepts and techniques of differential and integral calculus and their applications. They explore vectors in two and three dimensions and examine complex numbers. Students demonstrate a good level of statistical understanding and interpret the given results. 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 on the core one with and one without the use of a GDC (2x30%) and a written assessment on the option Statistics (20%).

Mathematics Standard SL (12)
Students study vectors, statistics, probability and Calculus.  Students continue to 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 formatively assessed with in-class tests and quizzes made up of previous IB exam questions.  Summative assessments include IB public examinations and at least one piece of work for submission as part of 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.  The portfolio also allows students to work without the time constraints of a written examination and to develop the skills they need for communicating mathematical ideas.
