Prerequisite:

for IB Mathematics Year 2 Standard Level: A June-IB Score Up to Date (SIB on report card) of 5 and above. Please review the criteria of Year 2 IB courses.

Description:

This is the second year of a two-year sequence leading to the IB Mathematics Standard Level Examination. Topics in this second year include: Calculus (Differentiation, Integration and their applications: optimization & kinematics), Vectors (2D and 3D Vectors, Vector Equation of a Line) Probability (Discrete random variables, Binomial and Normal Distribution), Statistics (single variable and bivariate statistics, and regression analysis). Students complete the mathematical exploration, in late fall and early spring as part of the IBO internal assessment. During the fall semester a prediction will be sent to Universities indicating the teacher’s best estimate of how a student will do in the IB Examination in May. The prediction will be based on (i) the final grade of the first year, (ii) the grade of the final exam in the first year and (iii) the mock exam early in the fall semester. In year 2 students in SL classes will be released from class once a week in order to attend to work in their HL courses.
