In addition to academic support, we encourage students to speak to their Homeroom teachers about any concerns they may have. PREPARING STUDENTS FOR UNIVERSITY C CHU N B CHO H C SINH TR | C NG Grade 11 and 12 are important years as students not only have to achieve the best possible A level results but also have to apply to university. Students have the opportunity to research potential countries, universities and courses to study at undergraduate level. This is part of the Counselling Programme which also includes understanding the various application processes required for different countries, investigating funding options and how to write a personal statement. In addition, TH School has visiting universities who not only talk about their admissions requirements but also give students application advice. Students can attend University Fairs, giving them the opportunity to speak to representatives of universities from all over the world! STUDENT EXPECTATIONS | K V NG At TH school we believe that students are the drivers of their learning.

These include the skill of working with mathematical information, as well as the ability to think logically and independently, consider accuracy, model situations mathematically, analyse results and reflect on findings. t ph n t qu . p a tr m ch y u sau: The key concepts for Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics are: PROBLEM SOLVING | n cv c l p, kh n ng m t chuy n i, bao g m k c c ng nh t duy ng t qu ng Cambridge g m GI I QUY T V N Mathematics is fundamentally problem solving and representing systems and models in different ways. These include: Algebra: this is an essential tool which supports and expresses mathematical reasoning and provides a means to generalise across a number of contexts. Geometrical techniques: algebraic representations also describe a spatial relationship, which gives us a new way to understand a situation. Calculus: this is a fundamental element which describes change in dynamic situations and underlines the links between functions and graphs. m cv i quy t v n p h p nh ng h th m: i s h c: quan tr ng h tr ng d n gi i cv h c n d i b Thu t c: s bi u di n m i quan h v ng d thay m nh m i quan h gi is c i. c b s u . n 5 Grades 11 & 12 Curriculum h c: gi t t th chuy n ng ho c ng yên d i ng c a l c.

Mechanical models: these explain and predict how particles and objects move or remain stable under the influence of forces. Statistical methods: these are used to quantify and model aspects of the world around us. Probability theory predicts how chance events might proceed, and whether assumptions about chance are justified by evidence. COMMUNICATION | S TRUY N D LI U Mathematical proof and reasoning is expressed using algebra and notation so that others can follow each line of reasoning and confirm its completeness and accuracy. Mathematical notation is universal. Each solution is structured, but proof and problem solving also invite creative and original thinking. p lu is hi u ng nh ng l p lu n ng nh nc c r t ph bi n.

M ng d ng, k t qu c i Grades 11 & 12 Curriculum Science Khoa h c Advanced Subsidiary (AS) and Advanced (A) Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics students are studying the Cambridge International Examination (CIE) syllabus which aims to provide students with a curriculum that develops breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding in specific scientific disciplines. Students will become global citizens as they develop an appreciation for the positive and negative impacts that Science has on society, economics, technology, ethics, industry, philosophy and the environment. Success in A Level Science courses requires that students can work both collaboratively and independently, use scientific vocabulary and conventions, and be able to communicate and solve problems effectively. The syllabus includes relevant practical work that aims to provide a link between theoretical knowledge and planning, inquiry and communication skills. They will be expected to use their skills to carry out relevant investigations safely using appropriate laboratory equipment. Students will record results and observations, interpret data using various statistical and graphing techniques, draw conclusions which they will substantiate using research and prior knowledge and evaluate uses and limitations of the scientific method in answering a research question.

In such an information-rich society, young people need the skills and dispositions to be able to think critically. In the broadest sense this means that they need to: deconstruct arguments, differentiate between the ways in which people express their perspectives, views and arguments, assess and evaluate claims and develop strong lines of reasoning. This will ensure that the learner has the twenty-first century skills to communicate and collaborate in . Cambridge International AS Level Global Perspectives & Research aims to encourage young people to think about and explore issues of global significance. Through well-defined stages, called the Critical Path, learners will be encouraged to apply a logical approach to thinking and reasoning. By following this path, they will be able to analyse the structure and context of arguments, assess the impact and limitations of evidence and make well-reasoned judgements. Learners will build skills in organising and communicating their findings in appropriate multimedia formats. At TH School students will complete three out of their four A-level components in grade 11 (AS). These are: Recorded presentation of a global topic to an audience within the school. This counts for 17.5% of the final grade. A written essay of 2000 words. This counts for 17.5% of the final grade. A written exam on the structure of arguments and perspectives. This counts for 15% of the final grade. In grade 12 students will produce a 5,000-word essay on any scientific topic of their choosing. This counts for 50% of their final grade. nh h ng t duy ph n bi n. k n ng nh n bi Hi u m n i m, t p n lu p lu n.

An intention or purpose can come from a brief, proposal or research, while at other times it might begin as an idea or feeling. Though an intention is the reason to start a project, it is important to understand that the intention can evolve as work develops.
