Students studying together with notebooks and a laptop

G10–11 Math Lab

While learning grades 10–11 math, your child also solves AP, IB, and A Level exam problems that test the same concepts.

Courses cover the Korean high school subjects Common Math 1 and 2, Algebra, and Calculus. In the functions unit, your child works up to exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, learning the English terms and solving English problems.

What international courses teach at the same stage as Korean grades 10–11

Korean G10–11

  • Common Math 1
  • Common Math 2
  • Algebra
  • Calculus

International courses, G10–11

  • Pre-Calculus (the course before calculus) and beyond
  • A-Level Math (AS)
  • BP Math AA/AI (SL/HL Core)

If your child attends an IB school

IB school students study the math course (AA or AI) and level (SL or HL) their school has set.

Your child can also take LABCO IB Support classes, which use the school's unit plans, assignments, and assessment materials to review and prepare for assessments. See classes that use IB school materials

IB math courses
  1. MYPIB Middle Years Programme math (grades 6–10)MYP Math (Grade 6–10)
  2. DPDiploma Programme math: AA and AI courses at SL and HLDP Mathematics AA/AI (SL/HL)

Course names: AA and AI

AA stands for Analysis and Approaches, and AI for Applications and Interpretation. Both courses come at two levels: SL (Standard Level) and HL (Higher Level).

Internal Assessment (IA): the exploration project in DP math

Your child practices choosing an exploration topic and working through it with mathematical modeling.

Functions unit: up to exponential, log, and trig functions

Starting from the linear and quadratic functions and graphs learned in middle school, your child learns high school functions with English terms and English problems.

The high school functions unit, step by step

  1. Learn function notation, domain and range, and graph transformations along with the English termsf(x) · Domain/Range · Transformation of graphs
  2. Learn exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions and their graphsExponential · Logarithmic · Trigonometric functions
  3. Read English word problems by unit and type, find the conditions, and turn them into equationsWord Problem

Solve independently, then redo mistakes

Four kinds of G10–11 math practice: starting with units that overlap, practicing each exam format, redoing problems they got wrong, and solving AP and competition problems
  • What your child practices: Starting with units that overlap

    How it works: Your child starts with concepts found in both Korean and international courses, such as functions, calculus, vectors, and statistics.

  • What your child practices: Practicing each exam format

    How it works: Your child solves short-answer, written-response, proof, and graph-analysis problems in the formats of school tests and AP, IB, and A Level exams.

  • What your child practices: Redoing problems they got wrong

    How it works: Your child finds why an answer was wrong and redoes that problem type until they can solve it alone.

  • What your child practices: Solving AP and competition problems

    How it works: Once your child can solve the grades 10–11 units alone, they take on AP Precalculus and AP Calculus problems or AMC and AIME problems.

Example: using the discriminant to find a tangency condition

This solution uses the discriminant, D=0, to set the condition for the graph of the quadratic function f(x)=a(x-1)(x-4) to be tangent to the line y=x/2. After finding the two values of a, it splits into cases and checks the x-coordinate of the point of tangency line by line.

Handwritten solution that graphs the quadratic function f(x)=a(x-1)(x-4) and two lines, then sets the condition for tangency with y=x/2 as D=0 to find a
Sample handwritten solution notes using the discriminant

Tests and wrong-answer records decide which units to review

Tests and the record of problems your child got wrong are kept in their own portfolio. Units your child has already learned get a quick check, then classes move on. See how parents get progress updates
