DESCRIPTION

The significance of mathematics for modelling and practical applications is a prominent theme throughout this coursebook, supported with Theory of Knowledge, internationalism and application links to encourage an appreciation of broader contexts of mathematics. Mathematical modelling is also a key feature.GDC tips are integrated throughout, with 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.

FEATURES
- A GDC-dedicated chapter covers the step-by-step processes for using the Texas and Casio calculators in the place of traditional mathematical methods.
- Chapter openers explain why the topic matters in the real world.
- The narrative is broken up into short, manageable-sized chunks and is written in plain English, making the key concepts clear and easy to understand.
- Progressive and repetitive exercises use a combination of routine ‘drill’ questions and application-related questions; they are written in the style of the IB’s short-answer and longer-answer questions.
- There are numerous worked examples that include methods using GDC.
- There are feature boxes for the following aspects of the syllabus: Theory of Knowledge, Internationalism, and Applications, as well as general hints with a special note when the hint is exam-specific.
- Key point panels highlight key things or formulas to remember.
- Exam and Exam-style questions provide lots of exam practice.
