ISH-Moodle

This programme enables students to develop generalisations of mathematical ideas and methods through exploration of applications, the effective use of technology, and abstract reasoning. The programme asks students to investigate relationships within mathematics and between mathematics and other subjects. Students will engage in problem solving strategies to extend core learning to a level that will deepen their mathematical knowledge and enrich their understanding.

This course covers a variety of topics  varying from numerical operations and properties, algebraic manipulation and handling data based on statistical correlations, recognizing patterns and structures and use special relationships.  You will learn to interpret mathematical results and understand their significance.

It also aims to develop methods of problem solving supported by both analytical and graphical techniques. To that end, an essential tool is a GDC - graphical devise-  for which the TI-84+ graphical calculator is recommended.

IGCSE English as a Second Language is a two-year course intended for students in Grades 9 and 10 who will have the opportunity to develop their communicative ability in English as well as their understanding of the language in a range of everyday situations, including a variety of social registers and styles. By design, the course aims to develop learners’ ability to use English effectively for the purpose of practical communication; form a solid foundation for the skills required for further study or employment using English as the medium; develop learners’ awareness of the nature of language and language-learning skills, as well as promote learners’ personal development.

This is where we will do our LAL classes on Tuesday mornings.

Cambridge IGCSE Literature (Spanish) offers learners the opportunity to read, interpret, evaluate and respond to a range of literature in Spanish. The range includes drama, prose and poetry from different periods and cultures. This course enables learners to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the ways in which writers use Spanish to express meaning and achieve effects. Learners are stimulated to read for pleasure, to explore wider and universal issues, promoting a better understanding of themselves and the world.

When studying the Cambridge IGCSE Music syllabus, learners listen to, perform and compose music, encouraging aesthetic and emotional development, self-discipline and, importantly, creativity. As a result, learners enhance their appreciation and enjoyment of music, an achievement that forms an ideal foundation for future study and enhances lifelong musical enjoyment. Learners study music of all styles; each style is placed in its historical and cultural context, and learners are encouraged to be perceptive, sensitive and critical when listening.

This course provide all you need to prepare for your Cambridge IGCSE in French qualification. It also teaches you about the way of life of the people in the French-speaking world and about the language they speak.

Grade 10 Course Summary

Students will examine the factors that affect performance in sports. They will identify functions of the skeleton and its relevance to performance and participation in practical activities. Students should also study the different types of joints, the essential parts of joints and types and ranges of movements. They should also know the most important muscles groups and their role in movement and how they work.  Also, students should gain an understanding of what motivates people to participate in physical activities and how they prepare for exercise, understand how skills are learned, recognize that certain physiques equip people better for certain activities as well as avoiding the temptation of drugs that have detrimental effects on health and performance.

 Students will apply the principles of movement while refining movement skills. They will also demonstrate safe practices regarding the safety of themselves and others and identify the factors that contribute to positive relationships with others. Besides, grade 10 students will analyze Healthy Eating, Growth and Development, and Personal Safety and Injury Prevention.

Cambridge IGCSE Art & Design encourages a range of skills, stimulates aesthetic awareness, knowledge and critical understanding of art, and provides opportunities for learners to develop a range of skills. Crucially, a personal and independent perspective is encouraged at all times. The syllabus is designed to accommodate a wide range of abilities, materials and resources, and allows the different skills of the teaching staff to be fully used.

The syllabus appeals to learners who wish to explore practical work through a range of two- and/or three-dimensional processes and include new media and technologies in addition to traditional media and processes.

Successful Cambridge IGCSE Business Studies learners will be able to understand different forms of business organisations, the environments in which businesses operate and business functions such as marketing, operations, and finance; and appreciate the role of people in business success.
They will also gain lifelong skills, including the ability to calculate and interpret business data, communication skills needed to support arguments with reasons and the ability to analyse business situations and reach decisions or judgements.

This course is aimed at ISH Grade 11 students who are doing the IBO Physics course at a Standard Level. It covers four units of the IBO program for Physics (starting from 2016). Here students can find different resources that will help them in completing the following topics:  Measurements and uncertainties; Mechanics; Circular motion; Waves; Electricity and magnetism; and Atomic, nuclear, and particle physics.

ESS is a complex course, requiring a diverse set of skills from its students. It is firmly grounded in both a scientific exploration of environmental systems in their structure and function and in the exploration of cultural, economic, ethical, political, and social interactions of societies with the environment. As a result of studying this course, students will become equipped with the ability to recognize and evaluate the impact of our complex system of societies on the natural world. The interdisciplinary nature of the course requires a broad skill set from students and includes the ability to perform research and investigations and to participate in philosophical discussion. The course requires a systems approach to environmental understanding and problem solving, and promotes holistic thinking about environmental issues. It is recognized that to understand the environmental issues of the 21st century and suggest suitable management solutions, both the human and environmental aspects must be understood. Students should be encouraged to develop solutions from a personal to a community and to a global scale.

Through the exploration of cause and effect, the course investigates how values interact with choices and actions, resulting in a range of environmental impacts. Students develop an understanding that the connections between environmental systems and societies are diverse, varied and dynamic. The complexity of these interactions challenges those working towards understanding the actions required for effective guardianship of the planet and sustainable and equitable use of shared resources.

Welcome to CAS in Grade 11, her we will share ideas and plans for the continuation of CAS
