The guides ensure students have the strongest possible start by covering everything they need to know before embarking on this challenging two year programme.
OSC IB Foundation Guides provide:
The series currently includes one NEW title:
Pre-IB Mathematics: Preparation for IB Mathematics HL/SL
Designed to ensure that students not only gain the minimum knowledge required before starting their IB Diploma Mathematics course but that they also develop the strong confidence and expertise in mathematics which will allow them to do well. Students will learn and refine their algebraic techniques that are so important as well as study the basic and advanced concepts of functions, trigonometry, vectors, set theory, statistics, probability, matrices, sequences/series and logarithms.
