IB Math SL Y2 (Period 1)

The course focuses on introducing important mathematical concepts through the development of mathematical techniques. The intention is to introduce students to these concepts in a comprehensible and coherent way. Students should, wherever possible, apply the mathematical knowledge they have acquired to solve realistic problems set in an appropriate context.

The internally assessed component, the exploration, offers students the opportunity for developing independence in their mathematical learning. Students are encouraged to take a considered approach to various mathematical activities and to explore different mathematical ideas. The exploration also allows students to work without the time constraints of a written examination and to develop the skills they need for communicating mathematical ideas.

IB Math SL will explore the history of mathematics and its connections to international world.  Students will associate past and current events throughout the year that have a link to topics studied in IB Math SL.  IB Math SL focuses on the importance of mathematics in all facets of life and the world.
