Numerical and abstract reasoning
The abilty to work with numbers and symbols is an essential skillin mathematics, Students are expected to
have an understanding of number concepts and to develop the skills of calculation and approximation,
Algebra uses letters and symbols to represent numbers, quantities and operations, and employs variables
to solve mathematical problems. Algebra is an abstraction of the concepts first used when dealing with
‘numbers and is essential for further learning in mathematics. Students should understand that the use of
numbers and symbols to express patterns and to describe reabiife situations goes back to humankine’s
earliest beginnings, and that mathematics has multicultural roots.
Links to MYP concepts
Key concepts ftom other MYP subjects that could be used within the numerical and abstract reasoning
branch include change (ratios, number bases), communication (umber ines, units of measurement),
connections (number bases, number sequences, Venn dlagrams), development (number sequences,
prime numbers, entity (es, factors) and systems (sts, number systems). Related concepts from MYP
mathematics that could be used within the numerical and abstract reasoning branch include
approximation, equivalence, generalization, quantity, simplification, systems and validity.

Thinking with models
Models are depictions of rea-lfe events using expressions, equations or graphs while a function is defined
as a relation or expression involving one or more variables. Creating lferent representations of functions
to model the relationships between varables, visually and symbolically as graphs, equations and tables
represents different ways to communicate mathematical ideas, In order to use and develop mathematical
models, students wil require knowledge of concepts, topics and skils in algebra, Teachers should assist
students’ understanding of models by using real-life contexts forthe application of algebraic knowledge
and skis in problem solving situations.
