Ib Math Studies

The International Baccalaureate® (IB) was founded in Geneva, Switzerland in 1968 as a non-profit educational foundation that endeavored to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who would go on to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. What began as a single program for internationally mobile students preparing for college, has grown into a series of programs for students up to age 19. Barron’s is pleased to offer a brand new review guide for the IB Mathematics Studies exam. The content of the book is based on the curriculum and covers all topics required for exams beginning in 2014. It includes: An overview of the exam, including an explanation of scoring Thorough review and explanation for all curriculum subjects Extensive review and practice for each topic, including Paper 1 and Paper 2examples Three full-length paper 1 and 2 practice exams with solutions, and comprehensive explanations Calculator instructions for the TI-84 and TI-Nspire This all-encompassing book also serves as a valuable resource during first year college math courses.

This book takes a fresh look at programs for advanced studies for high school students in the United States, with a particular focus on the Advanced Placement and the International Baccalaureate programs, and asks how advanced studies can be significantly improved in general. It also examines two of the core issues surrounding these programs: they can have a profound impact on other components of the education system and participation in the programs has become key to admission at selective institutions of higher education. By looking at what could enhance the quality of high school advanced study programs as well as what precedes and comes after these programs, this report provides teachers, parents, curriculum developers, administrators, college science and mathematics faculty, and the educational research community with a detailed assessment that can be used to guide change within advanced study programs.

A new series of Exam Preparation guides for the IB Diploma Mathematics HL and SL and Mathematical Studies. This exam preparation guide for the IB Diploma Mathematics Standard Level course breaks the course down into chapters that summarise material and present revision questions by exam question type, so that revision can be highly focused to make best use of students' time. Students can stretch themselves to achieve their best with 'going for the top' questions for those who want to achieve the highest results. Worked solutions for all the mixed and 'going for the top' questions are included, plus exam hints throughout. Guides for Mathematics Higher Level and Mathematical Studies are also available.

This completely new title is written to specifically cover the new IB Diploma Mathematical Studies syllabus. The significance of mathematics for practical applications is a prominent theme throughout this coursebook, supported with Theory of Knowledge, internationalism and application links to encourage an appreciation of the broader contexts of mathematics. Mathematical modelling is also a key feature. GDC tips are integrated throughout, with a dedicated GDC chapter for those needing more support. Exam hints and IB exam-style questions are provided within each chapter; sample exam papers (online) can be tackled in exam-style conditions for further exam preparation. Guidance and support for the internal assessment is also available, providing advice on good practice when writing the project.
