Mathematics Higher Level for the IB Diploma

Page 1

Written specifically to cover the new International Baccalaureate ® IB Mathematics Higher Level syllabus, this highly illustrated coursebook with accompanying CD-ROM forms part of the completely new Cambridge Mathematics for the IB Diploma series. The syllabus topics have been covered in a progressive manner that encourages cumulative learning. Signposts throughout the book allow the reader to easily navigate between related or prerequisite topics, so that it is easy to follow regardless of the order in which the material is taught in the classroom. This also makes it an ideal resource for self-study, as do the numerous exercises with answers at the back of the book, clear narrative and informative worked examples. Key features include: M worked examples to demonstrate ideas, thought processes and typical workings M numerous exercises with answers at the back of the book for self-assessment − drill questions provide practice of new methods whereas questions colour-coded according to IB grade encourage the student to actively apply what they’ve learned − questions are predominantly exam-style throughout to facilitate familiarity and comfort with the IB-style of questioning M integrated panels to provide Theory of knowledge points and starting points for the extended essay and the new investigation M exam hints to highlight some common errors and pitfalls to watch out for M key point panels to emphasise key things or formulas to remember The CD-ROM at the back of the book includes an e-version of the coursebook; all Option chapters; an Extension worksheet for each chapter of the coursebook to take the concepts beyond the scope of the syllabus; Supplementary worksheets exploring international and historical perspectives and applications of mathematics; Calculator skills sheets to help students master their graphical calculators; and Fill-in proofs to enable interested students to recreate mathematical proofs not required in the examination.
