What is different in taking IB Mathematics Analysis and Approaches SL online?

Students will have the opportunity to:

• access a structured learning environment that provides flexibility and support in equal measure.

• study alongside students from around the world.
• gain experience of using the latest online learning tools.

Some things won’t be different though. Standards and expectations will be just as high as in a face to face classroom.

Material Covered through the Course

The five areas below are covered during the IB Mathematics Analysis and Approaches SL course. There is a core set of topics for each area. The course contains investigative and inquiry-based learning, supporting students in their internally assessed exploration task. There is some content that is common with the Mathematics SL Applications and Interpretations course but the Mathematics Analysis and Approaches SL has a greater emphasis on calculus, and theoretical approaches.

Activities and Assessment

Teacher and students have regular weekly opportunities to assess progress and attainment.  Some activities assess student achievement against formal criteria, such as worksheets, problem sets or quizzes.  Learning is also supported with discussion forums, email, and regular live lessons in the online classroom.
