IB Mathematical Studies (SL) is a course for students who are in the International Baccalaureate Programme here at Loveland High School. It is designed to provide studies with a very thorough background in the fundamentals of mathematics, but is not necessarily the right course for students who are looking at pursuing a mathematics-related field of study in college.

The home page for International Baccalaureate is www.ibo.org. For additional information about the IB program here at Loveland High School, you may visit lhsplc.wikispaces.com and select the link for International Baccalaureate.

The book we will be using is called "Mathematics for the International Student".

There are 19 chapters we will be covering over a two year course of study.

Year 1: We will be covering chapters 1 through 12.

Year 2: We will be covering chapters 13 through 19.

Fewer chapters are reserved for year 2 because they represent more challenging and unfamiliar material; additionally, students will be required to complete a project that will occupy a fair amount of their time (while successfully completing all of their IB courses as well!) The project is known as an "Internal Assessment," as it will be graded by Mr. Morrison.

At the culmination of the course, students will also take the IB Mathematical Studies exam. This is known as an "External Assessment," as it will be graded by the IB establishment.
