Course Outline 2022-23
AIMS: Participation in MYP Mathematics should enable students to:
• Enjoy mathematics, develop curiosity and begin to appreciate its elegance and power
• develop an understanding of the principles and nature of mathematics
• communicate clearly and confidently in a variety of contexts
• develop logical, critical and creative thinking
• develop confidence, perseverance, and independence in mathematical thinking and
problem-solving
• develop powers of generalization and abstraction
• apply and transfer skills to a wide range of real-life situations, other areas of
knowledge and future developments
• appreciate how developments in technology and mathematics have influenced each
other
• appreciate the moral, social and ethical implications arising from the work of
mathematicians and the applications of mathematics
• appreciate the international dimension in mathematics through an awareness of the
universality of mathematics and its multicultural and historical perspectives
• appreciate the contribution of mathematics to other areas of knowledge
• develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to pursue further studies in
mathematics
• develop the ability to reflect critically upon their own work and the work of others.

The following are some of the ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills that we will focus on
during Mathematics lessons
Category Skill Indicator
Communication • Give and receive meaningful feedback
Skills • Use intercultural understanding to interpret communication
• Interpret and use effectively modes of non-verbal communication
Reflective skills Develop new skills, techniques and strategies for effective learning
• Identify strengths and weaknesses of personal learning strategies
(self-assessment)
• Demonstrate flexibility in the selection and use of learning
strategies
Thinking skills Practice observing carefully in order to recognize problems
• Gather and organize relevant information to formulate an
argument
• Test generalizations and conclusions
Organizational Plan short- and long-term assignments; meet deadlines
skills • Create plans to prepare for summative assessments (examinations
and performances)
• Set goals that are challenging and realistic
ASSESSMENT: Based on IB MYP Mathematics Criteria, students’ growth in Grade 9
mathematics will be continually assessed utilizing a variety of methods. These methods
include-
• Investigations
• Projects
• Presentations
• Self assessments
• Open tasks
• Reflections
IB MYP criteria for assessments in mathematics are:
Criterion A Knowing and understanding Maximum 8
Criterion B Investigating Patterns Maximum 8
Criterion C Communicating Maximum 8
Criterion D Applying mathematics in real life contexts Maximum 8
Course Expectations:
Students should-
• Get their course material to class
• Submit their assignments on time
• Be punctual to class
• Have positive approach towards the subject
