The Group 5: Mathematics subjects of the IB Diploma Programme consist of two different mathematics courses, both of which can be taken at Standard Level (SL) or Higher Level (HL).
[1] To earn an IB Diploma, a candidate must take either Mathematics Applications and Interpretation (SL/HL) or Mathematics Analysis and Approaches (SL/HL), as well as satisfying all CAS, TOK and EE requirements.
[3][4] The external examinations for Analysis and Approaches at the SL level consist of two exams: Paper 1 (which does not allow for the use of technology i.e calculators), and Paper 2 (which is taken with technology).
For Applications and Interpretations, the external examinations at the SL level also consist of two papers, and they both allow the use of technology.
Similarly to A&A, HL students sit for the additional Paper 3 that allows for the use of technology and that consists of two long questions.
