I like the involvement with technology in this class. I know so much more about what the calculator is capable of doing and how to apply that to solving math problems.

I understand how math is applied in real life situations. Every chapter there is always a description of how the math is used in real life. This makes me feel like I’m not just learning how to solve certain problems, but why we are solving them and how that can be interpreted.
--M.J. 2020 Dublin Scioto
As someone who has always been a humanities person/more English and history incline, I was super nervous to take this class; however, IB Math AI HL is the perfect class where everyone can be happy. You will be exposed to so many different topics. You will get a really nice challenge, and since we explore so many different topics, you will most definitely find something that appeals to you.
--J.K. 2020 Dublin Jerome
I learned a lot about myself as a student. I developed skills for studying for assessments, completing assignments and managing my time for this class and others. I was impressed at how much better I am now at reasoning through a problem and being able to come to a solution than before I took this class. It helped me so much for future classes about math and even other subjects.
