IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (SL) is a two-year course designed to allow students to study and investigate the following mathematical topics: number theory and related topics, algebra, geometry and trigonometry topics, probability, statistics, and functions. The course content in year two includes a study of the concepts of calculus of one variable and will cover the AP Calculus objectives as well as review for the IB Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches exam. Students must complete IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches Part 1 with a C or better to be eligible for part 2. As required by the IB program an internal assessment will be completed in year 1 by each student. This internal assessment is an individual mathematical exploration.
Prerequisites
Successful completion of IB Math Analysis & Approaches SL1. Open to all Grade 11 and 12 W-L students who meet the prerequisites.
This course is year 2 of a two-year sequence and prepares students for the required Standard Level IB assessments at the end of the course of study. Students will complete an Internal Assessment and sit for External Assessments (papers/exams). This IB course is weighted by applying an additional 1.0 quality point value assigned to the final grade upon completion of the course.
