COHORT MATHEMATICS: 12 8 credits
This course combines Pre Calculus 12
and Calculus 12 in one school year using 2 periods. Students learn
course material for Pre Calculus 12 from September to January and then
Calculus 12 from February until June. It is recommended
that students have excellent math skills and are dedicated to their
mathematics studies to be in this course. Topics covered are identical
to that of a student taking Pre Calculus 12 and Calculus 12 as separate
courses.

Topics include: trigonometry, relations and functions, permutations, combinations and binomial theorem.
MATHEMATICS 12: CALCULUS 4 credits
This
course is designed to develop students ability to conjecture, reason
logically, employ quantitative and spatial information, and apply
a variety of mathematical methods to solve problems and make decisions
confidently and independently. Students taking this course will be prepared for first year calculus at a post-secondary
institute. Topics include: limits, continuity, derivatives,
integrals, differential equations, mathematical modeling and
applications of derivatives and integrals.
IB
MATHEMATICS: ANALYSIS & APPROACHES 11 (SL)
4 credits each
IB
MATHEMATICS: ANALYSIS & APPROACHES 11 (SL or HL)
4 credits each
IB Mathematics contains a broad range of mathematical concepts and caters to
students who anticipate a need for a sound mathematical background in
preparation for future studies in subjects that have significant mathematical
content, such as chemistry, economics, geography, psychology and business
administration. The nature of the subject is such that the curriculum focuses
on the introduction of important mathematical concepts through the development
of mathematical techniques. The majority of concepts are included because they
underpin important mathematical processes. In many cases, concepts are included
because they are essential to any further study in mathematics. Students taking
this course are expected to possess a ready knowledge of basic concepts and to
be equipped with the skills needed to apply mathematical techniques
correctly. Students who choose the HL
option in mathematics will delve deeper into complex mathematical problems and
topics such as matrices, vectors, statistics and calculus.
IB
MATHEMATICS: APPLICATIONS & INTERPRETATION 11 (SL)
4 credits
IB
MATHEMATICS: APPLICATIONS & INTERPRETATION 12 (SL) 4 credits
This
course is available only at standard level, and is equivalent in status to
mathematics SL, but addresses different needs. It has an emphasis on
analytical approaches to mathematics, and the largest section is on statistical
techniques. It is designed for students with varied mathematical backgrounds
and abilities. It offers students opportunities to learn important concepts and
techniques and to gain an understanding of a wide variety of mathematical
topics. It prepares students to be able to solve problems in a
variety of settings, to develop more sophisticated mathematical reasoning and
to enhance their critical thinking. Its intent is to allow students to
learn through inquiry and investigation. The
individual project is an extended piece of work based on personal research
involving the collection, analysis and evaluation of data. Students taking this
course are well prepared for a career in social sciences, humanities, languages
or arts.
