Welcome back and hello to our new grade 11 Math A&I students. The DP course on Applications and Interpretation is grounded in practical reality. Hence the emphasis on measurements and its practical application. There is a clear connection of using Maths to solve practical problems – which provides a refreshing and meaningful approach for those not so interested in more theoretical Maths!
However, the course work is intense and daily practice of work covered should become the norm for all DP students. I cannot emphasize this enough – this may be in the form of homework or self-study.
As we go through the year, students should also keep a journal to reflect on learning and to ask possible “I wonder…” questions which will create material for the Internal Assessment paper. (more about this in later posts)
I look forward to working with our current students. Please feel welcome to contact me at any point to discuss any concerns or ideas that you may want to share.
