The course includes project work based on personal research. (from the IBO)The students most likely to select this course are those whose main interests lie outside the field of mathematics, science, computer science and engineering. In particular, Math Studies gives aspiring liberal arts majors a solid foundation in a variety of areas of math, especially statistics. If you got a 4+, UT Austin would give you credit for Applied Math!GoalsAbove all, our class seeks to develop problem-solving skills. Our other 100% goals are:Scoring a 24 or higher on the math portion of the ACTPassing the Exit-Level Math TAKSImproving Personal Project scores by 5 points (out of 20) over year oneDemonstrating 85% mastery of all objectives on weekly quizzesPassing the full IB course with a 5 or higherMath Studies Topics (both years)NumbersFunctionsQuadratic FunctionsExponential FunctionsTrigonometryTrigonometric FunctionsNumbers and AlgebraFinancial MathematicsSets and ProbabilityLogicOne-Variable StatisticsTwo-Variable StatisticsCalculusInternal Assessment ProjectEvaluation60% Tests: Interim Assessments, Unit Tests, Major Presentations/Projects25% Quizzes: Weekly Mastery Quizzes15% Other: Problem Sets, Minor Assignments, HomeworkMaterialsMath Interactive Notebook (quad-ruled composition book)1” binder with 5 dividers Mechanical pencil or pen (no sharpeners in the room)200 plain, white index cardsGraph filler paperCalculator, if desired (one will be provided)Any other materials needed throughout the semester will be those generally available in the Ganas Store.
