For students entering Year 1 of the IB Diploma Programme. Standard Level Math AA — Functions, Algebra, Geometry & Trigonometry, and Calculus, taught in 18 hours before your school year begins. Walk into DP-1 already ahead.
Built for students aiming at 7 by DP-2. DP-1 is the foundation year — we start with Functions, the language of IBDP math, then build through Algebra, Geometry & Trigonometry, and finish with Calculus, the most important topic. Plus an introduction to the Mathematical Exploration (IA), so you choose your topic with knowledge, not guesswork. Every chapter taught with the rubric that produces top SL grades.
Functions-led sequencing builds the conceptual base, then deepens through to calculus. Designed so DP-1 alumni AND new students both arrive at school confident.
