Functions - Prior Knowledge

Functions are a way of describing a relationship between two variables. The knowledge of functions helps one understand the different types of relationships that can exist between two variables. Functions are imperative for the understanding of any future, higher level of math.

 

A major constituent of the IB AA or AI syllabus is functions and hence a strong base in it will help in coping with the various challenges that lie ahead in the two-year program. Depending on the syllabus completed in grade 10, some learners may not have been exposed to the concept of functions. The Pre IB functions course will serve as a bridge for familiarizing students with the basic concepts and expectations.

 

The Pre IB functions course consists of topics like Basic Functions, Composite Functions, Quadratic Functions, Cubic Functions, and so on so that the learner can study them and develop a thorough understanding of the basic concept. With the IB being rigorous, the foundation will enable them to grasp the concepts even when the pace picks up significantly. The entire course consists of short video tutorials and practice quizzes that help learners navigate through the content in a bite-size and orderly manner.

 

The course will help students learn the basic concepts required for the IBDP and revise them. With many learners coming from different educational backgrounds, this course will help them understand the expectations and rigour of the IB program and help them better prepare themselves in advance for the program.
