IB Mathematics SL/HLY1

Welcome to Math IBSL/HLY1! We follow the IB Math Analysis and Approaches curriculum. As recommended by IB for HL, the first year is taught in conjunction with the SL. Second year HL students take IB Math HLY2/AP Calculus BC. There is no AP course for the first year (IBSL/HLY1). We do not cover the curriculum for AP Calculus AB in this class. Our IBSL/HLY1 is also taught in conjunction with the AICE Cambridge math course/curriculum.
 
This year you will need a graphing calculator. It helps to have the calculator when you start school. I suggest a TI-84 (or 84-plus or 84-silver, LCD screens are great). Our text and my in-class instructions follow this model of calculator (which will make it a lot easier!). A TI-83 will also work.
**TI-NSPIRE IS NOT ALLOWED FOR THE CLASS OR IB**
The TI-84 calculator costs approximately $100—however, in July and August many stores will be running sales on the calculators. It is a good time to purchase the calculator and then you’ll be set to go in September. Certain Casio calculators are allowable as well, you will just need to rely heavily on the owner’s manual for instructions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions: [email protected]
 
All assignments and materials are located in Google Classroom.
