IB Math Applications and Interpretations SL (C&D) Prerequisite/Selection Process: IB Math Applications and Interpretations SL (A&B) Intended Audience: 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 Mathemat- ics: Applications and interpretation will be those who enjoy mathematics best when seen in a practical context. Credit: Two trimesters = 1.0 credit Major Outcomes: • Geometry • Trigonometry • Calculus • Exploration • SL Exam required in this course Projects, Activities, etc.: Projects, written work, and exploratory activities Instructional Focus: Instruction is provided in a variety of ways including using technology, hands on activities, and other assessments to prepare students for an understanding of what is on the required IB Exam IB Math Analysis and Approaches SL 11 Prerequisite/Selection Process: Honors Advanced Algebra Intended Audience: Grade 11. Intended for students who will go on to study subjects with a more mathematical focus but not a need beyond Calculus Credit: Two trimesters = 1.0 credit Major Outcomes: • Algebra, functions, and equations • Circular functions and trigonometry • Statistics and Probability • SL Exam required in year 12 Projects, Activities, etc.: Written work and preparation for senior year exploration Instructional Focus: Instruction encourages students to think at a higher level and com- bine previous and current knowledge to solve problems. Instruction is focused on preparing students for the required IB Exam in year 12 IB Math Analysis and Approaches SL 12 Prerequisite/Selection Process: IB Math Analysis SL 11 OR Honors Pre Calc with Statistics Intended Audience: Intended for students who will go on to study subjects with a more math- ematical focus but not a need beyond Calcu- lus. For students who are interested in developing their mathematics for describing our world, modelling and solving practical problems using the power of technology. Stu- dents who take Mathematics: Applications and interpretation will be those who enjoy mathe- matics best when seen in a practical context. 52 Credit: Two trimesters = 1.0 credit Major Outcomes: • Calculus • Internal exploration • External assessment preparation • SL Exam required in year 12 Projects, Activities, etc.: Exploration Instructional Focus: Instruction encourages students to think at a higher level and com- bine previous and current knowledge to solve problems.
