Primary Mathematics Program

This heavily sought after course takes students through a comprehensive and in-depth program of MYP’s Maths assessment rubric criteria. Students will become proficient in criteria-specific problem solving, laying a solid foundation for the tasks of Internal Assessments and Extended Essay during the subsequent Diploma Program years.

Typically lessons are revolved around common core topics that students entering Form 1 or Year 7 ought to be able to do. Elements of the teaching plan include teacher demonstration, student interactions, individual exercises, and learning recap, both pre-lesson and post-lesson. Often topics are introduced as case studies, such as budget planning for an overseas family trip that includes calculating itemized expenses plus sales tax and duties, and currency exchanges. While the syllabus is prefixed, the teacher makes appropriate adjustments, according to students’ competence levels, with respect to lesson pace and topic emphasis.
