Description of Applications and
Interpretations
This course recognizes the increasing role that mathematics and technology play in a
diverse range of fields in a data-rich world. As such, it emphasizes the meaning of
mathematics in context by focusing on topics that are often used as applications or in
mathematical modelling.
To give this understanding a firm base, this course also includes topics that are
traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course such as calculus and statistics.
The course makes extensive use of technology to allow students to explore and
construct mathematical models. Mathematics: applications and interpretation will develop
mathematical thinking, often in the context of a practical problem and using technology to
justify conjectures.

Topics in IB Math Applications and
Interpretations (Example)
Fall Semester (12th grade) Topic breakdown
Topic 1: Numbers and Algebra Modeling using algebra, sequences and series, formulas and approximations.
Topic 2: Functions Models are depictions of real-life events using expressions, equations or
graphs while a function is defined as a relation or expression involving one or
more variable.
Creating different representations of functions to model the relationships
between variables, visually and symbolically as graphs, equations and/or tables
represents different ways to communicate mathematical ideas.
Topic 3: Trigonometry and Geometry Geometry and trigonometry allow us to quantify the physical world, enhancing
our spatial awareness in two and three dimensions. This branch provides us
with the tools for analysis, measurement and transformation of quantities,
movements and relationships.

SPRING (12th grade) Topic breakdown
Topic 4: Statistics and Statistics is concerned with the collection, analysis and interpretation of quantitative data
Probability and uses the theory of probability to estimate parameters, discover empirical laws, test
hypotheses and predict the occurrence of events. Statistical representations and measures
allow us to represent data in many different forms to aid interpretation.
Probability enables us to quantify the likelihood of events occurring and so evaluate risk.
Both statistics and probability provide important representations which enable us to
make predictions, valid comparisons and informed decisions. These fields have power
and limitations and should be applied with care and critically questioned, in detail, to
differentiate between the theoretical and the empirical/observed. Probability theory
allows us to make informed choices, to evaluate risk and to make predictions about
seemingly random events.
Topic 5: Calculus Calculus describes rates of change between two variables and the accumulation of
limiting areas. Understanding these rates of change allows us to model, interpret and
analyze real-world problems and situations. Calculus helps us understand the behaviour
of functions and allows us to interpret the features of their graphs.
