[AP Calculus AB/BC]/IB Mathematics HL 11 [CPHS only] Prerequisite/Selection Process: Honors Precalculus Intended Audience: Grades 11 and 12 Credit: Three trimesters = 1.5 credits Major Outcomes: • Functions • Limits, derivatives, integrals • Improper integrals • Partial fractions, infinite series • Parametric, vector, and polar functions Projects, Activities, etc.: Varies by teacher Instructional Focus: Same as AP Calculus AB for first two trimesters [1.0 credit course] and same as AP Calculus BC for one trimester course [0.5 credit course] IB Mathematics 12 HL [CPHS only] Prerequisite/Selection Process: Previous year of IB Math 11 HL Intended Audience: Grade 12 Credit: Two trimesters = 1.0 credit Major Outcomes: • Algebra, functions and equations • Circular functions and trigonometry • Probability • Statistics • Calculus • Limits, Derivations and Integrals • HL Exam in grade 12 • Internal and external assessments Projects, Activities, etc.: Portfolio Instructional Focus: Instruction presented a variety of ways. Investigation of real life situa- tions and applications to mathematical models 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 op- tions in which students study a topic in more detail: Calculus, Statistics and Probability, Dis- crete Mathematics, and Set, Groups, and Rela- tions. The options unit that is done at Champlin Park is the Calculus Option (which aligns with AP Calculus BC). In Further Mathematics, stu- dents 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 class- room (videos). Students will need to be self motivated to learn material and come to class with questions. Investigation of real life situa- tions and application of math models.
