[quote=Anonymous]I have a child in the IB HL sequence, who did 7th grade Algebra I, 8th grade geometry. Like the AP students on this track, DC will take IB HL Math in 11th, instead of AP Calculus BC, and the exact same linear/multivariable class that his AP counterparts take. IB HL Math is supposed to be the equivalent of Calc BC, IB SL math is the equivalent of Calc AB, and then there is IB math studies, which is a lower level. DH was an undergrad math major and has really looked at the AP vs IB math curriculum. He believes that the IB HL math is more robust than AP Calc-- that it requires really using the math and writing about it at greater depth than AP. That's not to say it's harder (or easier)-- you end up in the same place. Just that IB digs deeper. [/quote]
