Group 5

Group 5 course in IB is the study about the mathematics. In this courses, students are trained to be skilled in analysing the numbers and the mathematical problems. There are 3 programme of mathematics in group 5 which are Mathematical Studies (SL), Mathematics (SL and HL), Further Mathematics (SL and HL). But in Stella Maris there are only 2 choice of Mathematics, Mathematical Studies or Mathematics SL and HL. The students are expected to be able to :


 * Develop mathematical knowledge, concepts and principles


 * Develop logical, critical and creative thinking


 * Employ and refine their powers of abstraction and generalization[1]


 * Applying the Mathematics in the real life


 * Explain things clearly

Assessment
There are Internal Assessment and External Assessment in Mathematics Group 5. The Internal Assessment of Mathematical Studies and Mathematics is a analysis of a mathematical problem. The students must use their critical thinking of mathematics and find their way to solve the problem. The External Assessment are the paper test from the IB. There are Paper 1 and 2 in both Mathematics and additional Paper 3 for Mathematics HL.
