IB Further Mathematics [ CPHS only ] Prerequisite / Selection Process: IB Math 12 HL Intended Audience: Grade 12 at CPHS Credit: Two trimesters = 1.0 credit Major Outcomes: In IB Math HL, students study a variety of higher level mathematical concepts. There are 4 options in which students study a topic in more detail: Calculus, Statistics and Probability, Discrete Mathematics, and Set, Groups, and Relations. The options unit that is done at Champlin Park is the Calculus Option( which aligns with AP Calculus BC). In Further Mathematics, students complete the remaining 3 options plus 2 additional units of study. These topics include:
• Probability and Statistics
• Discrete Mathematics
• Set Theory
• Abstract Algebra
• Non-Euclidean Geometry
• Differential Equations and Linear Algebra Projects, Activities, etc.: IB Math Internal Assessment( Math Exploration paper) Instructional Focus: Instruction presented in a variety of ways, mainly through flipped classroom( videos). Students will need to be self motivated to learn material and come to class with questions. Investigation of real life situations and application of math models.
