The qualification

International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme Mathematics

MYP mathematics develops logical, abstract and critical thinking through four branches of mathematical study -- numerical and abstract reasoning, thinking with models, spatial reasoning, and reasoning with data -- offered at standard and extended levels of challenge. — International Baccalaureate, official syllabus page

Source is the public IB MYP Mathematics subject brief ("From 2020, first assessment 2022"). No syllabus code exists at MYP level -- 'MYP Mathematics' is used as this record's own `code`. This qualificationSlug ('ib-myp') plus subjectSlug ('mathematics') combination is distinct from any other board's Mathematics entry in this file. See this subject's own assessment-structure record for the sourced criterion-based assessment breakdown.

Specifications change between examination series. Always confirm the current syllabus and assessment structure on the International Baccalaureate syllabus page for your examination year.

Assessment structure

criterion-referenced

Assessment components for International Baccalaureate Mathematics MYP Mathematics
Component Duration Marks Weighting Type

Criterion B: Investigating patterns 8 25% criterion
Criterion C: Communicating 8 25% criterion
Criterion D: Applying mathematics in real-life contexts 8 25% criterion

Source: official International Baccalaureate specification, verified 2026-09-04. Read directly from the public IB MYP Mathematics subject brief ("From 2020, first assessment 2022" -- the one MYP subject brief among the five modeled in this batch that states an explicit first-assessment year rather than only a framework currency date, used verbatim here). All four criteria equally weighted (25% each), 8-level achievement scale (marks=8 = the maximum achievable level, not an exam mark total), teacher-assessed across the year against published IB rubrics and externally moderated by IB sampling, no fixed sitting duration (durationMinutes: null). Same modeling rationale as the MYP Sciences record above: the public subject brief is sufficient here because MYP genuinely has no fixed-marks exam-paper structure for most students, unlike DP. Optional MYP eAssessment (on-screen exam, for MYP Certificate/course-results seekers only, not modeled as this record's components) comprises three tasks per the same brief: Knowing and understanding + Communicating (criteria A and C), Investigating patterns + Communicating (criteria B and C), and Applying mathematics in real-life contexts + Communicating (criteria C and D), each 31-35 marks, with criterion C assessed across all three tasks to a combined 25 marks -- cited for completeness only.

Assessment FAQs

How is International Baccalaureate Mathematics (MYP Mathematics) assessed?

International Baccalaureate Mathematics (MYP Mathematics) is assessed through: Criterion A (Knowing and understanding) — no fixed duration, 8 marks, 25% of the qualification; Criterion B (Investigating patterns) — no fixed duration, 8 marks, 25% of the qualification; Criterion C (Communicating) — no fixed duration, 8 marks, 25% of the qualification; Criterion D (Applying mathematics in real-life contexts) — no fixed duration, 8 marks, 25% of the qualification. It is a criterion referenced qualification. Source: official International Baccalaureate specification, verified 2026-09-04.
