Mathematics in the MYP
A Knowledge and Understanding
B Investigating Patterns
C Communication in Mathematics
D Reflection in Mathematics
The following assessment criteria have been established by the IB for mathematics in the MYP.
- know and demonstrate understanding of the concepts from the five branches of mathematics(number, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability and discrete mathematics)
- use appropriate mathematical concepts and skills to solve problems in both familiar and unfamiliar situations, including those in real-life contexts.
- select and apply general rules correctly to make deductions and solve problems, including those in real-life contexts.
Assessment tasksfor criterion A are likely to be classroom tests and examinations.
- select and apply appropriate inquiry and mathematical problem-solving techniques.
- recognize patterns.
- describe patterns as relationships or general rules.
- draw conclusions consistent with findings.
- justify or prove mathematical relationships and general rules.
Assessment tasks for criterion B should be mathematical investigations of some complexity, as appropriate to the level of MYP mathematics.
-Assessment tasks could have a variety of solutions and may be set in real-life contexts.
- Tasks could be done under test conditions or at home depending on the task itself.
- use appropriate mathematical language in both oral and written explanations.
- use different forms of mathematical representations.
- communicate a complete and coherent mathematical line of reasoning using different forms of representation when investigating problems.
- explain whether his or her results make sense in the context of the problem.
- explain the importance of his or her findings in connection to real life where appropriate.
- justify the degree of accuracy of his or her results where appropriate.
- suggest improvements to the method when necessary.
