What we actually cover
The topics, subject by subject
MYP, the bilingual Matura track, and the run-up to IB or A-Level
MYP mathematics
- Number and algebra
- Functions and relationships
- Geometry and trigonometry
- Statistics and probability
- Criterion-based assessment, and what the criteria actually reward
Bridging into the Diploma years
- Algebraic fluency the IB assumes you already have
- Choosing between AA and AI honestly
- Standard Level or Higher Level
Arriving mid-year
- Finding what a different system covered and yours did not
- Working in English while the class works in German, or the reverse
- Catching up without falling behind on the current unit
In practice
Students at Swiss International School, International School Basel and the bilingual programmes are working in English, often in a system their parents did not go through themselves. I have taught into these schools for years and know where their maths and physics courses diverge from the Swiss cantonal syllabus.
