Group 5
Mathematics
DP mathematics focuses on developing the skills of analysis, abstraction and generalisation, risk awareness and statistical literacy, algorithmic thinking, modelling and inquiry. We also aim to meet the diverse needs, interests and motivations of all our students within the DP. There are two mathematics subjects/routes that are offered at standard level (SL) and higher level (HL):
Analysis and Approaches SL/HL
Application and Interpretation SL/HL
Mathematics: Analysis and approaches
This course 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.
Mathematics: Applications and interpretation
This course is for students who are interested in developing their mathematics for describing our world, modelling and solving practical problems using the power of technology. Students who take Mathematics: Applications and interpretation will be those who enjoy mathematics best when seen in a practical context
