IBMYP
The IB Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) Mathematics curriculum is designed for students aged 11 to 16. It helps them develop foundational mathematical thinking, logical reasoning, and the ability to apply math in real-life contexts. IBMYP Math forms an essential bridge between primary-level math and advanced programmes like the IB Diploma (IBDP).
In the MYP framework, students can engage with mathematics at two levels of challenge:
Standard mathematics
Provides a solid understanding of core mathematical principles and skills to meet the MYP assessment objectives.
Extended mathematics
Builds on the standard curriculum with additional topics and greater depth. This level is ideal for students planning to pursue advanced studies, such as Mathematics Higher Level (HL) in the IBDP.
🔄 Preparing for the IB Diploma Programme (DP)
Many students who complete MYP, especially those in Extended Math naturally progress into IBDP Mathematics. However, the jump in difficulty, abstract reasoning, and new assessment formats (like Internal Assessments) can be challenging.
At Vic Li Math, we help students navigate this transition by:
-
Reviewing essential MYP concepts in line with IBDP expectations
-
Introducing students to IBDP AA and AI content and thinking styles
-
Strengthening algebra, functions, and mathematical communication
-
Offering personalized guidance on choosing between Applications & Interpretation (AI) and Analysis & Approaches (AA)
