School Integrated Math Text Books Comments Chinese International School Yes Art of Problem Solving Munich International School Yes Variety of school's resources Don't use textbooks, other resources International Community School of Addis Ababa Thinking of teaching Inegrated Math Western Academy of Beijing Yes Haese & Harris and the MYP materials Grades 9 & 10 MYP is an integrated as sources, and also for DP. program. DP, studies, standard, and high are also integrated programs. Zurich International School Yes Haese and Harris King Abdullah University of Science and Technology - Saudi Arabia Yes IB MYP and DP program / Haese and Harris publications as our main text book, supplemented by Pearson and Oxford books International School of Düsseldorf Yes IB Middle Years Program: Books are Australian from Pearson Education (Years 1,2,3) and Haese & Harris (Years 4,5) IB Diploma Program: Oxford University Press (Standard and Studies level); Higher Level uses Pearson Baccalaureate American Community School of Abu Dhabi we are exploring the possibility of moving that way next year
The Anglo-American School of Moscow Yes 9 extended mathematics for IGCSE 10 additional mathematics new syllabus AISJ - South Africa Yes variety resources not one textbook or program ISK Yes thing I'd recommend. We're looking to change for next year. Right now it's just a hodgepodge of materials to meet the standards and benchmarks we have set AES Yes Core Plus +, published by Glencoe Many of our student arriving were coming from integrated math programs in the rest of the world (and increasingly from US schools) and the IB. One thing we learned was that we should not call IM 1 IM 1 in grade 8. We did last year, and then had some students who were not ready for IM 2 in the high school, and parents were concerned that they were repeating IM 1. The programs are essentially the same, and that was the intention, because a huge percentage (98 99%) of the grade 8 students were ready to move into IM 2. Only a small handful were recommended to start IM 1 in grade 9. So, for this year, IM 1 is simly called Math 8. ACS Yes in Gr. 11 & 12 in Gr. 8,9,10 Considering IM for Gr. 8,9,10 for next year AAS Yes IB Mathematics HL SL and SL studies
UNIS Yes We do follow the International Baccalaureate Framework for Mathematics in the Middle years(myp Grades 6 10) and the DPin 11 and 12 has three separate courses HL, SL and Studies, aimed at addressing the different ability ranges and all courses are integrated with a some Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, Pre Calculus, Vectors and Probability and Statistics. International School of Manila Yes Haese & Harris, MYP4+ &MYP5 American International School, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong Never taught IM Hong Kong International School Teda International School Never taught IM International School Yangon Never taught IM Colegio Franklin D. Roosevelt Yes Mathematics for the International Student MYP 4 (for grade 9) and Mathematics for the International Student MYP 5Plus. Both are by Hasse & Harris. we have a MYP curriculum grades 6 10) ASIJ
Al Hekma International School - Bahrain we offer Algebra, Geometry, Pre Calculus, and Calculus courses for students in grade 9 12. Grade 9 students focus on algebra during the year, the next year in grade 10 students focus on Geometry, third year students take pre calculus in grade 11 which is integrate Algebra, Trigonometry and Geometry and during the fourth year students in grade 12 take Calculus, so we teach Math in different subjects area and we didn t integrate two subjects in one course but we integrates math with other subjects and real life examples. We believe this way of teaching build Math skills and knowledge more than integrating two subjects in one course (which means some concepts will not be taught during high school) and that s mean students will not be prepared well for the college courses. Seoul Foreign School Yes IGCSE Rabat American School Yes Haese & Harris series for pre-diploma through IB courses Pan American School of Bahia One major issue for our school, and other international schools, is that students transfer into our schools with a year of algebra or geometry or whatever and would find it difficult to join integrated math classes at any level
