IB MYP - MATHEMATICS

Students begin to study the IB MYP (Middle-Year Program) from Grade 6 (MYP 1) up to Grade 10 (MYP 5/ Pre-IB). There is no fixed curriculum for each grade - the curriculum is set for the whole duration of the MYP. Hence some schools may cover certain topics in Grade 6 whilst in another school the same topics are covered in Grade 7. Students will be tested on one or more criteria in each topic as follows:

• Criterion A: Knowing and understanding
• Criterion B: Investigating patterns
• Criterion C: Communicating
• Criterion D: Applying mathematics in real-life contexts

There are no examinations at the end of the program. Criteria tests, assignments, and projects are used to assess student learning and progress. At IB PREP GLOBAL, we go beyond teaching students to merely ‘know how to answer the question'; we provide a variety of exercises from our resource banks to guide students, enabling them to competently express themselves mathematically and develop further ideas from their results. Hence the optimal level of learning and results are achieved for each criterion. These criteria skills are essential to bridge students into the IB DP where they will also be required to complete written coursework (Internal Assessments).

IB PREP GLOBAL’s distinctive reputation in tailor-made lessons that cater to individual needs are most suited for helping students to excel in this MYP-type syllabus and inquiry based learning methodology.
