IB Mathematics
Mathematics is a compulsory subject in the IB Diploma programme. The International Baccalaureate Organisation recognises that pupils will have differing backgrounds, abilities and needs in Mathematics, so with this in mind, there are different courses available.
We will be offering the following three courses:
All IB courses allow pupils to not only have a coherent view of Mathematics, but also understand the history and development of Mathematics.
Assessment in all 3 courses is made up of project work, worth 20% of the overall grade, and examinations which make up 80% of the overall grade. The examinations take place at the end of the second year of study.
All courses include the use of a Graphical Display Calculator (GDC). Students will be required to purchase a GDC as this will be required during project work and examinations. We would recommend the TI 84 or TI 84 Plus. This can be purchased through the school shop.
