Pre-IB Math

“The course has helped me increase my confidence in solving IB style questions. Our instructors were amazing, they were able to teach the topic in detail with various approaches and derive each concept.”

“This Pre-IB course has deepened my appreciation for math and helped me look at Math from a different angle. Apart from having more syllabus, IB puts a lot of focus on the application of learning. The tutorials and homework helped me cement the topics learnt. Our instructor, Miss Dhingra went in depth about the topics and inspired us to do the same with our questions. She was enthusiastic and gave us topics for research from time to time. I am much more confident now for my IB journey.”

“The course has helped me relieve my stress about IB math. It was very well planned, the resources provided were very effective and made the learning smooth and understandable. The instructors are very experienced with a deep understanding of every topic, they were very supportive and always ready to clear all our doubts and make us understand the topic again and again, therefore learning was easy with them.”

“The course has not only increased my confidence in my ability to cope with IB Math, but also made me aware that the type of questions are sometimes a little more complex than what I am used to with ICSE. The various quizzes and homework helped strengthen my concepts and the course overall has helped me understand IB Math, especially the first semester topics. Miss Dhingra, knows the IB Curriculum extremely well, and was able to guide us at every step of the way. Learnings from this course have furthered my interest in math.”

“IB math is very different from ICSE math. The tutorials and quizzes were very helpful in reinforcing the concepts, strategies and the ideas we learnt during class. Ms. Dhingra was very helpful throughout the entire course. She stresses on the beauty of math and proofs and concepts. During the course she always gave us tips and strategies to look out for while solving a math problem. This course has really changed my perspective towards math. I now look at math at a whole new angle and understand there is more to it than just equations and numbers.”

“This course definitely managed to help me prepare for IBDP and has given me a serious head start for the program. There were many concepts that were completely unknown to me and having somewhat of a knowledge about them will help me engage more in class which will lead to me learning better within school. All the platforms and resources were quite effective as they gave us a direct look into what IB would be like and provided us with questions similar to the ones found in IB. The platforms and resources were easy to use and very effective in helping my learning.”

“Coming from a CBSE background, switching to IB was a big deal and I was quite scared about this shift. The coursleap program however helped me understand what exactly the IB program was going to be like and what are the best strategies to tackle any problem that might come along the way.

Our instructors were absolutely fabulous along with the peer mentors who were able to identify exactly what our confusion or doubts were and explained them quite clearly. I think this is a great attribute of a teacher to be able to identify what is on the mind of their student. The course also gave me a real taste of how writing an Internal Assessment would look like. It also helped us to get familiarized with the use of technology.”

“I had done a lot of rote learning honestly for ICSE math. Every question was identical to the other. This was a huge change from what I have originally done and hence I really enjoyed it. I tried to make the most out of this course and it was definitely good use of my summer break. The ability to keep the class engaged online was one that I appreciated most from every mentor who guided me through the course. This course taught me the work I had to put in and how to be efficient in the subject. I enjoyed making some very good friends as well.”

“It helped me revise and understand most concepts with much needed clarity, as IB Math is much harder. The course also taught me a better work ethic. The quizzes were good consolidation activités and most of all challenging which made it fun as we interacted with new people. ​​Miss Dhingra is very knowledgeable and is excellent at what she’s teaching. The use of various softwares to make the virtual environment more engaging was very effective.”

“Overall, I feel the most positive impact it had on me was the actual conceptual learning that occurred. The resources we used (textbooks, homeworks, etc) as well as the teachers available to us were phenomenal. IBDP has many more types of unseen questions and we learnt how to master concepts and your working needs to be as clear as the answer itself in IBDP math. Tutorials were a great way of revising what we’d done on a weekly basis and for revisiting concepts which may have originally been tricky. Quizzes during class were a fun and interactive way to consolidate the progress we’d made. I have taken away many new learnings and extended my knowledge of concepts which I’d studied in the past.”

“I have gained a lot of knowledge, my interest and love for math has grown even further, and I no longer can look at a problem in just a single way. The course was very engaging along with quizzes and the tutorials forced me to revise continuously and therefore imbibed the concepts deeper in my mind. Solving questions in the breakout rooms was definitely a lot of fun, since it allowed us to engage with our peers. IB math is not just rigorous solving, problems differ a lot from each other. Modelling is a very important part of the IB curriculum and the knowledge is way more extensive.”

“I am now definitely more aware of the concepts that are going to be taught in the IB. I am now aware of solving strategies, working with the GDC and the in-depth understanding that IB requires. The complexity and length of IB questions is more than what I am used to. The topics are more detailed and require deeper understanding. The tutorials helped me revise the concepts covered in the previous week, and allowed me to practice math during the weekend. The quizzes and engagements were always a fun way of reconnecting math to real life problems.”

“IB Math is completely different from ICSE Math. It is more engaging, analytical and challenging. The course was really helpful because it not only tested our applications of concepts but also gave us an understanding of the IB format. Miss Dhingra is really good at simplifying concepts that seem daunting. She motivates students to think creatively and independently and makes sure that we have a thorough understanding of everything. Thanks to the course, I feel more prepared to face the IB. I have a thorough understanding of  math concepts and have gotten used to practising every day.”

“This course helped me revise the topics covered, and allowed me to push myself to understand the harder concepts more easily. The sessions were also extremely engaging, and helped me learn a lot. Mr. Rohit, our instructor, was extremely clear with what he was teaching and was instantly able to clear our doubts. I think after these 3 weeks I have seen a drastic improvement in general, ranging from my concentration, to my confidence in math. Going into IB will be less stressful and math will be a lot easier.”

“IB Math is more analytical and application based. The Pre-IB Math SL course was extremely helpful and really built a strong foundation before the IB started. Our instructors gave us in depth explanations about concepts and were very supportive in clarifying all our doubts. Overall, this was extremely fun, a new experience and a very good learning experience.”

“I had never practiced these types of questions before in my MYP years as an IB math student. I really think this maths course has helped me improve my maths and also been a great revision. Our instructor, Mr Gupta was really good and supportive who helped me maintain my focus. Everyday was a fun class as I learned new things and my peers were all friendly and amazing.”

“IB math doesn’t just expect an answer to a question, it requires reasoning, analysing and critical thinking. In my earlier studies we never used any form of technology and now we get to learn about and use many different types of technology. The tutorial and quizzes  were helpful in revising and testing our knowledge. Rohit Sir, is a wonderful teacher! He was extremely patient and explained the topics really well at a good pace through the class. Shreyasi ma’am was supportive and accommodating, she solved my doubts and explained them extremely well. The course has equipped me with enough and more knowledge to confidently enter the IBDP Programme and will surely help me significantly as we go on to do math throughout the year.”

“IB maths would be similar to IB MYP maths, mainly because of some overlap in content, however the extent at which we explore these different topics are very different. The course helped me with my understanding of a lot of the concepts and also it also covered a big chunk of content from the IB. Mr. Rohit, our instructor was very helpful and made sure that we all understood the content. Another plus point was that he knew how to use the math technology very well, and since it was on the calculator that my school uses, I learnt a lot.“
