IB DP Mathematics

Your IB Maths students aren't struggling with IB Maths.
They're struggling with the gap before it.

BridgePoint identifies exactly where each student's prior knowledge breaks down — and maps it to the IB DP Maths syllabus before it becomes a problem in Paper 1.

🚨
Urgent — Statistics & Probability × Problem Solving (38%) — students can recall probability facts but struggle to select the right strategy when the question doesn't name the method.
⚠️
Watch — Calculus × Technology/GDC (35%) — low GDC fluency in integration and graph analysis tasks. Students may know the method but are losing marks to tool unfamiliarity.
Recommended next steps
Run a 20-min Stats & Probability × Problem Solving micro-test this week — focus on conditional probability and strategy selection. Schedule a GDC skills session for Calculus groups scoring below 50% on Technology objectives. Re-test flagged students on these two cells after targeted intervention to track recovery.

The new year problem

Every year, the same students
fall through the same gap.

Your Grade 11s arrive with strong Common Core results, MYP achievements, or GCSE A-grades. Six weeks later, half of them are lost.

Not because IB Maths is too hard. Because the bridge between what they learned and what IB expects was never explicitly built.

The gap isn't obvious in their prior grades. It shows up in their first IB assessment — in the command terms they misread, the proof structures they've never seen, the notation that looks familiar but means something different.

By the time you've identified who's struggling and why, you've lost a month of teaching time you can't get back.

Year 1
When hidden prerequisite gaps surface in IB Maths — too late for easy intervention.
3
Prior curricula feeding into most international IB classes — GCSE, MYP and Common Core — each with different gaps and misconceptions.
Day 1
When BridgePoint shows you exactly which students need what — before the first unit test.
How it works

Diagnostic clarity in one class period.

Three steps. No setup. No training. Just a teacher and a class and a clear picture of exactly where to focus.

01
📝

Students take a diagnostic test

Adaptive MCQ tests mapped to the IB DP Maths syllabus. Each question is tagged to a content strand, assessment objective, command term, and prior curriculum (GCSE, Common Core, or MYP). A test takes 50 minutes.

02
🔍

Misconceptions are identified instantly

When a student answers incorrectly, BridgePoint doesn't just mark it wrong. It identifies the likely misconception behind the wrong answer and shows the student exactly what they misunderstood — in language they can act on.

03
📊

You see the full class picture

Your dashboard shows a Content × Assessment Objective heatmap for the entire class. Green means secure. Amber means shaky. Red means intervention needed now — before it shows up in Paper 1.

Built for one specific problem

One tool. One gap. Every IB Maths class.

BridgePoint is built specifically for IB DP Maths AA and AI teachers whose students are bridging from mixed prior curricula.

Common Core
US Common Core. Deep in statistics and functions, gaps in sequences, vectors and calculus notation expected by IB.
MYP
IB Middle Years Programme. Inquiry-based but variable depth — some micro-skills assume prior IB language that MYP didn't fully establish.
GCSE
UK and international GCSE. Strong on algebraic manipulation, weaker on formal proof and AO-specific command terms.

Every question in BridgePoint is tagged to the AO that IB examiners use to award marks. Students learn the language of the exam before the exam.

Built in a classroom

The American School of Doha sets a high bar. Students arrive with strong GCSE, MYP and Common Core results — and still, every new year, the same gap appears between what they know and what IB Maths expects of them.

BridgePoint was built to close that gap before it costs students their first term. The question bank, the taxonomy, the misconception feedback, the command term breakdown — every feature exists because a real IB Maths teacher needed it and couldn't find it anywhere else.

This is not a generic EdTech platform with an IB skin. It is a tool built from the inside out — by someone who still teaches the course, still marks the papers, and still sees the same gap every new year.
