Discipline Coordinator: Jim Heine
The mathematics courses at BSGE aim to enable students to
develop mathematical knowledge, concepts and principles,
to develop logical, critical and creative thinking, and to
employ and refine their powers of abstraction and generalization.
Students are encouraged to appreciate the international dimensions
of mathematics and the multiplicity of its cultural and historical
perspectives; they are also encouraged to engage in mathematical
pursuits, and to develop an appreciation of the beauty, power
and practicality of the discipline. The BSGE Mathematics
department shares its goals with the IB Diploma program and
aims to:
- Appreciate the international dimensions of mathematics
and the multiplicity of its cultural and historical
perspectives
- Employ and refine the powers of abstraction and generalization
- Gain an enhanced awareness of, and utilize the potential
of, technological developments in a variety of mathematical
contexts.
The sequence of Math courses is Pre-Algebra,
Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra, IB Math Studies and
IB Mathematics SL. |
