Group 5 Courses: Mathematics

Also, navigate to the district IB Math page for additional information

Group 5  courses aim to help students:

• Develop mathematical knowledge, concepts, and principles

• Develop logical, critical, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills 

• Employ and refine their powers of abstraction and generalization. 

There are many elements common to our IB Math courses although the approaches may be different. Both subjects will prepare students with the mathematics needed for a range of further educational courses corresponding to the different approaches to learning taken in Analysis and Approaches (AA) versus Applications and Interpretations (AI). 

Course Options:

IB Analysis and Approaches (AA) SL - 1 year/1 period - (Code: 507)

IB Analysis and Approaches  (AA) HL - 2 years/1 period - Year 1 (Code: 509) / Year 2 (Code: 510)

IB Applications and Interpretations (AI) SL - 1 year/1 period - (Code: 511)

Courses Overview:

Analysis and Approaches (AA) SL and HL:  In these courses, you will spend time developing mathematical arguments, problem-solving, and exploring real and abstract applications, with and without technology.

Applications and Interpretation (AI) SL:  In these courses, you will spend time describing the real world, solving practical problems using mathematics, and harnessing the power of technology alongside exploring mathematical models.
