THE PREMIER IB TUTORING SERVICE OF CANADA
NOTE: Math DP has branched into Analysis and Approaches (AA) or the Applications and Interpretation (AI) that focus on different aspects. The material here is not updated yet.
MYP MATH PROGRAMME
MYP mathematics (1 through 5 (pre-diploma)) consists of four branches of math that include:
1. NUMBERS
Four basic operations for whole numbers, integers, decimals and fractions, number lines, rounding, …
2. ALGEBRA
building expressions, simplifying expressions, expansion rules, solving equations, linear inequalities, factorization, rational equations, …
3. GEOMETRY & TRIGONOMETRY
angles, lines, parallels and perpendicular lines, parallelism, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, 3D objects, coordinate geometry, trigonometric ratios, sine and cosine rules, solving a triangle, …
4. STATISTICS & PROBABILITY
samples and populations, dot tables, tally and frequency tables, column graphs, pie charts, plots, mean, median, mode and range, experimental probability, Venn diagram, probability of two-way table, multiplying probabilities and compound events…
The new HL pre-diploma curriculum covers most of the DP Math 11 SL topics. MYP requires 50-70 hours of teaching time depending on the level.

IB MATH DIPLOMA PROGRAMME
The IB Diploma Programme has a wide range of math courses that according to students’ goals and capabilities may be taken. That being said, not all of them are presented in all schools, especially the schools that are not exclusively IB.
These subjects include IB Mathematics Studies SL , Math SL, Math HL, and Further Mathematics HL that very few students take, and that is one of the reasons (besides cost) why it is not even presented in most schools. Right now around 5 students in Mulgrave are taking Further Mathematics HL.

4. FURTHER MATHEMATICS HL (FMHL)
Further Mathematics HL is an intense course designed for students with a very strong background and interest in math. Students can take FMHL alongside Math HL.
Students cover 5 subjects in a total of 240 hours, and they write two 2.5 hrs long exam papers with no Internal Assessment since they need to take Math HL anyways.
