IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (SL) is a course designed to allow students to study and investigate the following mathematical topics: number theory and related topics, algebra, geometry and trigonometry topics, vectors, matrices, 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 I with a C or better to be eligible for part II. As required by the IB program an internal assessment will be completed on year 2 by each student. This internal assessment is an individual mathematical exploration.
Prerequisites
Algebra II, Intensified or teacher recommendation and a B cumulative average or better in previous math courses. Open to all Grade 10 and 11 W-L students who meet the prerequisites.
Students not completing the Internal Assessment and/or taking the exam will not earn the additional quality point (23171 (23172). This IB course is weighted by applying a 1.0 quality value assigned to the final grade upon completion of the course.
