IB Math and What Students Should Know About
Most of the students sometimes get confused to choose what’s the best for them to learn. In this case, for Mathematics subject. In IB currently offers four math courses, all of which will be phased out: Mathematical Studies Standard Level, Mathematics Standard Level, Mathematics Higher Level and Further Mathematics Higher Level. Here’s what to know about IB Math
IB Math Studies SL
Mathematical Studies Standard Level is designed to build confidence in students and encourage them to appreciate math. This course is for students who do not expect math to play a major part in their university studies. Its curriculum includes numbers and algebra, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and financial math, as well as a few other topics.
IB Math SL
Mathematics Standard Level, on the other hand, is intended mainly for students who are preparing for future studies in chemistry, economics and business. Similarly to Mathematical Studies Standard Level, students will study algebra, trigonometry and statistics. These and a few other areas of study form the common “Core curriculum” for both Mathematics Standard and Higher Level with the Standard Level curriculum being a subset of the Higher Level curriculum.
IB Math HL
Mathematics Higher Level is for students who already have a good background in math and who have proven to have a range of analytical and technical skills. These students, like those in Mathematics Standard Level, are most often preparing for university studies in physics, engineering and technology. Mathematics Higher Level requires a minimum of 190 instructional hours. Also, students are required to study at least one optional topic (called “options”) for a minimum of 40 additional instructional hours.
IB Further Math HL
The Further Mathematics Higher Level course (Standard Level before 2014) is designed for students who are both competent and interested in math and more specifically, for those who intend to continue studying math while at university. Students who take this course often also take Mathematics Higher Level. In fact, knowledge of all material from the Core curriculum of Mathematics Higher Level is necessary for this course.
