This text covers the syllabus content exactly and takes the same accessible, IB led approach of the first edition. It features end of topic sections highlighting the applications of Mathematics, as well as providing ideas for the IA project and links to the Theory of Knowledge. Innovative digital support is also provided for free online. - Reinforce concepts away from the classroom with individual, step-by-step support available online, alongside GeoGebra activities and worked solutions - Deliver lessons that engage with the IB philosophy, with project ideas and TOK links in every topic - Prepare your students for assessment with past IB exam paper questions and content structured exactly to the syllabus

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.

The most comprehensive and correct syllabus coverage, with unrivalled guidance and support straight from the IB. This student book is completely comprehensive with over 600 pages and a free eBook, and was written with the IB so you can trust in its authority. Fully addresses the new focus on the GDC.

Written by expert IB teachers, examiners and curriculum specialists, and with comprehensive coverage of the latest syllabi, this resource uses clear explanations, worked examples and practice questions to develop students' mathematical knowledge, as well as their logical and critical thinking.

This book has been designed specifically to support the student through the IB Diploma Programme in Mathematical Studies. It includes worked examples and numerous opportunities for practice. In addition the book will provide students with features integrated with study and learning approaches, TOK and the IB learner profile. Examples and activities drawn from around the world will encourage students to develop an international perspective.

Mathematical Studies has been written specially for students following the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Each topic opens with the syllabus content, and exactly follows the syllabus order, covering the latest syllabus requirements in full. This is invaluable in helping teachers to plot a way through the course, and for students when the time comes for revision. A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of step-by-step instructions on the use of the graphic display calculator. The text also makes reference to Autograph and Geogebra software. Each topic has clear explanations, worked examples, and plenty of practice exercises to reinforce learning. The Student Assessments at the end of each topic can be used as homework or to test learning. The CD-ROM contains powerpoints, spreadsheets, Geogebra files, step-by-step audio visual explanations of the harder concepts, and extra questions. Students who are taking this course have a variety of backgrounds and widely differing levels of previous mathematical knowledge: the Presumed Knowledge Assessments identify areas of weakness so that teachers can address these before tackling each topic. Mathematics has a rich historical and multi-cultural background, and the book is littered with such references. There are ideas for project work in each topic: internal assessment of the project is a key part of assessment. * Links to Theory of Knowledge offer opportunities for cross-curriculum study. * Follows IB Diploma terminology and notation, with a full glossary included. * The use of the Graphic Display Calculator is cleary taught in every topic. * The accompanying CD-ROM provides essential revision as well as activities for extended study. * The authors, Ric Pimentel and Terry Wall, are experienced teachers and examiners of Mathematics at this level.
