IBMYP MATHEMATICS

In IBMYP (IB Middle Years Programme) Mathematics, also commonly referred to as MYP Mathematics/Math(s), students undergo 5 years of learning, covering more advanced topics by the year. However, since there is no strict curriculum, the school may teach the students these topics in any order they deem appropriate.

Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding

Criterion B: Investigating Patterns

Criterion C: Communicating

Criterion D: Applying Mathematics in Real-Life Contexts

With no examinations, students will instead be assessed on their understanding of mathematics based on tests each semester, assignments and project submissions.

Mathematics, when studied at an early age, is a formulaic subject, but at more advanced stages, will require more critical thinking. Each calculation has several components, and even with a formula sheet, a standardized test will be hard to perform, if one does not study.

At Tuttee, we emphasize not only knowing how to answer the question, but to understand the fundamentals of the topic. Most students, unfortunately, opt out of trying to understand the rationale behind a mathematical theory. However, we believe that a theory becomes much easier to understand, once presented with a proper visual. In MYP Mathematics, when the theories become harder, understanding the concept will aid students in the heat of an examination.

Our experienced tutors are here to help students who have difficulty with mathematics. We also believe that when it comes to math, practice makes perfect- and with our question bank of several exercises and answers, we can also help students to drill their work and become much better, until knowledge of a topic becomes second nature.

Students are often prepared for the more rigid questions and answers of other examination streams, but not as much for the aspects of research. The jargon is usually specific to each topic, and requires intimate knowledge of the topic. Presenting their topic is also more difficult.

However, we at Tuttee are ready to help. With our experienced tutors who are familiar with each criterion in IBMYP, we help to break down papers. They may be intimidating at first glance, but they can be broken down and processed more easily, picking out keywords to recognize the paper and to make a difficult paper much easier to understand.

When presented with a big case study for a science question, we will help students visualize the problem, understand and then solve it. Our tutors are vastly experienced in IBMYP Science, and can help you to appreciate and excel at science- a stream that would be very useful for future science-oriented students!
