International Baccalaureate (IB)

The International Baccalaureate (IB) offers a series of programmes aimed at providing an internationally recognised qualification for students around the world.

The IB Diploma Programme is aimed at students aged 16 to 19, for the final two years of high school. We have developed a series of textbooks to align with the new Diploma Programme Mathematics courses for first teaching in August 2019.

Our current editions for the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) have been written to accompany the framework change in 2014 – the Next Chapter. These books are aimed at students aged 11 to 16 (approximately grades 6 to 10).

Testimonials

"Having worked examples with tutorials greatly assist the students. Investigations are a good starting point for discussion and to the unit. It allows the students to discover the mathematics on their own and gain a stronger understanding of “why” the mathematics is used."

“I am totally convinced that your publications use language that is by far the most student friendly, especially for our ESOL (ELL) population which is growing by leaps and bounds each day”

IB Diploma Programme (from August 2019)

We have produced a series of six textbooks for the new Diploma Programme Mathematics courses for first teaching in August 2019.

  • Mathematics: Core Topics SL
  • Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches SL 
  • Mathematics: Applications & Interpretation SL
  • Mathematics: Core Topics HL 
  • Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches HL 
  • Mathematics: Applications & Interpretation HL

Students studying either SL or HL will use two books: ‘Mathematics: Core Topics’ and ‘Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches’, or ‘Mathematics: Core Topics’ and ‘Mathematics: Applications & Interpretation’.

We are choosing to write in this way so that: 

  • The courses can be thoroughly covered while keeping the books reasonably sized. 
  • All students in SL (and analogous in HL) can start together, and potentially delay making a final choice of course. 
  • The Core Topics HL book can have less easier questions and significantly more tougher questions than its SL counterpart.

Middle Years Programme

Our current textbooks for the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) have been written to accompany the framework change in 2014 – the Next Chapter. There is one textbook for each of the first four years of the programme, and the choice between Standard and Extended mathematics for the fifth year.

What's New in this Series

Middle Years Programme

Content

  • Content has been revised to reflect changes in the syllabus. This includes the addition and removal of material where appropriate.
  • Content has been reorganised, providing a more logical and consistent progression of ideas and difficulty.
  • Level of difficulty has been modified, with some topics receiving more thorough and methodical coverage.
  • A greater number of puzzles and games have been included, especially at the lower levels.
  • Games are presented in text and online, allowing students to play in groups during class as well as independently via technology.

Software

  • Existing software has been updated, including new geometry and graphing packages.
  • Calculator instructions have been updated, with the books featuring screenshots of instructions for Casio fx-9860G, Casio fx-CG20, TI-84 Plus and TI-nspire.
  • Calculator instructions are now available online, accessed by clicking on icons located throughout the book.

Global Contexts

  • Global Contexts have replaced the old Areas of Interaction activities.
  • Each book contains a selection of activities that teachers can use to help plan a unit of work based on the Global Contexts.
  • Each activity refers to a specific Global Context, and contains a Statement of Inquiry. It lists the relevant Key Concept and Related Concepts, as well as the Approaches to Learning skills.
  • Each activity contains a series of Factual, Conceptual, and Debatable questions to help guide the unit of work.
  • Activities are accompanied by a general descriptor and a task-specific descriptor for each of the relevant assessment criteria, to help teachers assess the unit of work.
