Mathematics
How much does a kilo weigh? Why do we have 60 seconds in a minute? How do we measure homogeneity in data? How many ways are there for 9 students and 3 teachers to stand in a line so that no two teachers stand next to each other?聽聽
Mathematics is the language of the universe. We study both the algebraic concepts as well as the real-life applications of the subject. Mathematics is a mandatory subject in the EB and there are two pathways that are offered, namely a standard level (4 Periods) and a higher level (6 Periods).
In S5, the focus is on developing the foundation. It is also designed to be aligned with the sciences so that students can be well prepared in both disciplines. In S6 and S7, there is a separate syllabus which explores more into the mathematical topics.
To support the students in maths, every Wednesday there are 鈥淢ath Caf茅s鈥, where an external tutor is available to support the students with their assignments. In addition to that, the school regularly organises math 鈥渉ygge鈥 evenings which are placed before major tests.

The written exam is divided into two parts 鈥 with calculator and without calculator. The length of these two parts differs if the student has chosen the standard or advanced level and according to the class level. In S7, both 3p and 5p students will sit a 2-hour test with calculator and a 2 hour-test without calculator.
