IB Experience
At St. Andrews Aleksandra taught both AA and AI courses in the International School in the Bahamas. In her AA class she had 2 students who were covering the higher level, so she covered the topics from the higher level both in class and outside the classroom.
Aleksandra also organised IB maths clinic to support her students who struggled with the content. IB AA is a challenging course and Aleksandra always made sure that she discussed "sneaky" and "unusual" problem solving questions with her students in depth, making sure they are confident and have tools to solve similar kind of problems on their own.
Aleksandra favourite topic from the AI course is Voronoi diagrams which connects maths and history beautifully and proof by induction from the AA course higher level.
