IB Mathematics - Higher Level
The Higher Level IB Mathematics Course is a demanding yet rewarding course. Students enrolled in this course will be assessed frequently during the two-year program by way of in class assignments, take home assignments and tests. These assessments will be used to provide a predicted grade.
The final grade will be composed of four assessment events: a mathematics project and three papers.
