  1. Welcome to Ib Math Studies Instructor: Pratibha Sinha Email: psinha@uplifteducation.org Tutorial Times: Flex Period (By Appointment) and Tuesday (4:00 to 4:30)

  2. Introduction • Rigorous one-year course • Designed to create foundations for students pursuing liberal arts or humanities in college • Emphasis is on the identification and communication of mathematical ideas • Problem solving is a major component of this course

  3. Course Topics The Math Studies SL course consists of seven core topics taught as integrated units of study. • Number and Algebra • Descriptive Statistics • Logic, Sets, and Probability • Statistical Applications • Geometry and Trigonometry • Mathematical Models • Introduction to Differential Calculus Students will use graphing calculators to enhance their understanding and development of each mathematical concept.

  4. Assessments • Mathematical Project (due in December) – 20% • Paper 1 Examination (in May) – 40% • Paper 2 Examination (in May) – 40% The IBO allows the use of a graphing calculator on both the exams

  5. The exam

  6. Mathematical Projects (Internal Assessment) Example 1: What is the relationship between the weight of a car, its CO2 emissions and its fuel consumption? Example 2: The relationship between petrol price and retail prices index in the US Example 3: An investigation to find the optimum dimensions of an aluminum drink can Example 4: Is stretching beneficial to tennis players? Example 5: Statistics on flight information for an international airline

  7. Grade Boundaries (2013) Paper 1 (90 marks) Paper 2 (90 marks) Project (20 marks)
