This course will fulfill the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum requirements for Group 5 Mathematics. The course will cover in further depth all topics addressed in SL including an emphasis in mathematical modeling and statistics, developing strong skills in applying mathematics to the real-world using technology to solve complex real-world problems, and an understanding of mathematics as a means of universal communication. Students will expand their learning to include a more rigorous study of additional topics in precalculus, calculus, and statistics such as differentiation and integration, graph theory, and kinematics. This is the first year of a two year course.
