IB Mathematics Standard Level

Part of a completely new offering for IB Mathematics, this text provides extensive practice, detailed examination support, the latest GDC support and a free eBook, in addition to offering the most thorough syllabus coverage, which is crucial for the IB student. Uniquely developed with the IB, you can trust it takes the best approach. With carefully stepped activities with extensive practice, students will gain confidence in their skills. Activities make cross-curricular and real-world connections, while emphasising the historical and cultural aspects of the theory, in line with the Learner Profile. An eBook gives students ultimate flexibility in their study, including animations to simplify challenging concepts, interactive worked solutions and full and up-to-date GDC instructions for the most commonly used calculators. A supportive Study Guide is also available. I highly recommend this book to anyone, teacher or student, embarking on the new 2012 Maths Standard Level syllabus. While there is no one correct order for teaching a maths syllabus, I am a keen advocate of teaching from the start to the end of a book when it presents topics in a suitable order. This book may certainly be used in this manner. Everything is well explained, with plenty of examples, well-chosen exercises, and good use of colour. Students and teachers will also appreciate the GDC examples that use the modern TI-Nspire calculator. Finally I should mention the CD, which among other things contains the whole book and instructions for using Casio and TI-84 calculators. David Getling, Mathematics Teacher, Amazon Review The book looks amazing! I can't wait to get the inspection copy. It looks very user friendly and complete. It is so ironic to see the GDC section with steps outlined as I was working on my own handout for the students. This is wonderful! Melani Decelles, IB Mathematics Teacher, Kelvin High School, Canada The book is great. I'm an IB Standard Level Maths teacher and I've already recommended it to my students as it is so much better than the out-of-date text book provided by the school! Mathematics SL Teacher, Amazon Review The committee thinks the books are well written, easy to follow, and they like the TI-NSpire technology throughout Education Ministry, Canada We have ordered the Mathematics SL and Mathematical Studies books, and we love them. Padmini Nadar-Japal, IB Coordinator, Windhoek International School, Namibia The Oxford IB course books are the best ever resource for both teachers and students. They are practical, insightful and fully in line with the IB Course outcomes. Pat Hanson, IB Coordinator, Academy of the Holy Cross, USA We have adopted most of the Oxford course books for our school. We find them well written, well linked to TOK issues and age appropriate.
