1, basic mathematics (0580) will involve knowledge points that have not been investigated in the system, and the difficulty is equivalent to the level of Grade Two to Grade One. The course content is divided into four sections, including number, algebra and graphics, coordinate geometry, geometry, metrology, trigonometry, vector and transformation, probability, statistics and so on.
Knowledge points cover a wide range, and there are many trivial knowledge points, but they are very shallow. Many knowledge points are basically superficial. For example, calculus is involved, but the selected content is very simple. Then, textbooks often take students to understand slightly difficult content regularly.
2. The learning content of Additional Mathematics (0606) will involve knowledge points that may be involved in junior three to senior three, and even in domestic universities. Relatively difficult, generally follow the IB curriculum.
Including functions, quadratic functions, equation inequalities and images, exponential functions and radical functions, polynomials, equations, exponential functions and logarithmic functions, linear equations, radians, trigonometric functions, permutation and combination, series, two-dimensional vectors and calculus, only covering pure numbers, excluding probability and statistics. Compared with IG0580, learning is much more difficult and in-depth.
Which one can better connect with the later IB/AL class?
1 and IG0580 are suitable for junior high school students in international schools, and IG 0580 is very suitable for junior high school students in the system to study after transferring to international schools, which can help students accumulate professional vocabulary and adapt to English mathematics learning. Students who want to learn A-level system mathematics can directly enter the A-level stage after learning IG0580, and learn P 1, S 1 and so on.
2. Students who want to learn IB system mathematics in the future can choose IG0606 as a bridging course, which can reduce the pressure of learning IBHL mathematics. Don't ignore IGCSE math class, which is the basis of learning IB HL math and A-level math class well.
