Transitions

Mathematics is a cumulative subject — each transition brings new expectations, a different pace and a shift in what counts as good work. These pages explain what each step means in practice.

PYP → MYP

From an enquiry-based primary curriculum into a structured secondary programme. What changes, what continues, and how to prepare over the summer.

Year 9 → Year 10

The point at which students are placed on Standard or Extended pathways. How setting works, what it means for DP, and how to make the most of each track.

MYP → DP

Choosing between AI SL, AI HL, AA SL and AA HL. What each course demands, and how to match the choice to realistic future goals.

DP → University

Which DP mathematics courses are accepted by which degree programmes, and what admissions offices actually care about.
