IB PYP Maths

Learn About The Subject

The Mathematics program within the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) has a very distinct philosophy. The goal is not rote memorization of formulas, but rather to build a mathematical mindset and help children see mathematics everywhere in daily life.

Learning math is naturally integrated into Units of Inquiry, enabling children to understand the why behind every number, nurture curiosity, and create a positive connection with math from their earliest years.

Common Challenges When Learning IB PYP Maths

Overcoming the “fear of math” and building a positive learning attitude for the child.
Difficulty connecting abstract mathematical concepts with real-world objects and situations.
Adjusting to the inquiry-based learning approach of IB PYP.
Challenges in learning math terminology in English at an early age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

IB PYP Maths

How is IB PYP Math different from traditional math programs?

PYP Math focuses on conceptual understanding and inquiry-based learning, while traditional programs tend to emphasize practicing algorithms and memorizing formulas.

My child is still young, will extra classes be too stressful?

Absolutely not. Intertu’s approach for PYP level is “learning through play and playing while learning.” Our goal is to build confidence, spark curiosity, and create a positive relationship between the child and math, not to create pressure.

How does Intertu help my child prepare for PYP assessments at school?

We do not teach by rote memorization. Instead, we help children develop deep conceptual understanding. Teachers review school topics, support Units of Inquiry projects, and use fun activities to reinforce knowledge, making school assessments smoother and less stressful.

Why should children be introduced to math in English from an early age?

This brings dual benefits: building a strong mathematical foundation while naturally acquiring academic English. It’s the best preparation for higher international programs like MYP or IGCSE in the future.

What does a typical PYP Math class at Intertu look like?

A session might start with a fun brain-teaser, followed by an inquiry activity related to the child’s current school topic, and conclude with a lively review activity to reinforce what was learned.

How is tuition for the PYP Math course at Intertu calculated?

Tuition for PYP Math at Intertu Education depends on the total number of study hours and the level of support package (Standard, Premium, Platinum) chosen by parents. For a detailed quotation, please contact Intertu’s advisory team directly.
