STANDARD LEVEL (1 CREDIT)

Prerequisite:  Student successfully completed Algebra 2.

This course recognizes the increasing role that mathematics and technology play in a diverse range of fields in a data-rich world. As such, it emphasizes the meaning of mathematics in context by focusing on topics that are often used as applications or in mathematical modelling. To give this understanding a firm base, this course also includes topics that are traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course such as calculus and statistics. The course makes extensive use of technology to allow students to explore and construct mathematical models. Mathematics: applications and interpretation will develop mathematical thinking, often in the context of a practical problem and using technology to justify conjectures.  The course includes an Internal Assessment or exploration that is an independent piece of work by the students due in March and the IB External Assessments given in May.
