IB Math Applications & Interpretation 2 SL & HL*

Grade: 12

Full Year ~ Course Number: 1228 (SL) & 1248 (HL) Calculus, Statistics & Probability, Trigonometry

IB Mathematics Applications and Interpretation is an advanced math class for students who are interested in developing their mathematics for describing our world, modeling and solving practical problems using technology. Students who take Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation will be those who enjoy mathematics best when seen in a practical context. Topics include Sequences and series, linear and quadratic functions, rational functions, differentiation, univariate analysis, bivariate analysis, probability, exponents and logarithms, integration, geometry and trigonometry in 2D and 3D, trigonometric functions, calculus with trigonometric functions, probability distributions. This course is best intended for a college bound student who is intending on studying a non STEM major. 

IB Math Applications and Interpretation (A&I) 2 is offered at two levels, SL and HL.  However, both courses are taught concurrently. 

*Prerequisites: IB Math A&I SL 1, IB Math A&I HL 1 or Teacher recommendation. 

IB Analysis & Approaches 2 SL & HL*

Grade:12

Full Year ~ Course Number: 1229 (SL) & 1069 (HL) Calculus, Statistics & Probability, Trigonometry

Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches is designed for students who enjoy developing their mathematics to become fluent in the construction of mathematical arguments and develop strong skills in mathematical thinking. They will explore real and abstract applications, sometimes with technology, and will enjoy the thrill of mathematical problem solving and generalization.

Math Analysis & Approaches is for students pursuing paths where math is the focus (mathematics, economics, physics). Topics include, sequences and series, linear, quadratics, exponential, cubic, sinusoidal, and logarithmic functions, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability, and calculus. This course is best suited for college bound students where STEM is their intended focus. 

*Prerequisites: IB Math A&A 1 SL , IB Math A&A 1 HL or Teacher recommendation.
