What is the difference between IB Math SL and IB Math HL?
COURSE RATIONALE: Why Study IB Mathematics?
Knowledge is valuable. However, it is imperative to question: Who is creating that knowledge?, Why is it worthy of study?, Can I create knowledge too? In traditional math classrooms, information is accepted without being questioned, but we aim to flip that script by transforming ourselves into authors of knowledge and taking ownership of our thinking. By incorporating theory of knowledge practices and relevant technology into our mathematical study, we draw upon intuition and reasoning, investigate structures, and formulate original solutions based on mathematical evidence. Furthermore, we will focus on academic writing in preparation for the Mathematical Exploration, the culminating product of students’ investigation of an interesting math topic.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: By the end of this course, students will...
- Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others (SMP 3).
- Identify and utilize resources intentionally to facilitate deeper learning and success.
- Reason spatially and utilize logic to formulate arguments grounded in mathematical evidence.
- Analyze scenarios involving key math fields to devise valid, original solutions.
- Recognize and describe individual contributions to the learning space, including participation.
