Mathematics · Tools & resourcesThe tools we use, explained.
Across MYP your child will use a small set of resources for class, homework, and practice. This page explains each one — what it is, when it is used, and where to log in or find it.
Textbook
The textbook series the department uses across MYP and DP. Used in class in print and at home through Snowflake, its online edition — same content, same exercises. The specific book each year-group uses is listed below.
Haese Mathematics — print + Snowflake online
Textbook (print + digital)
Haese is our publisher across MYP and DP. Class copies are stocked in the room; the same book is available online via Snowflake for home study (school subscription, login required). Parents who would like a personal copy at home can purchase one directly from the book room.

Haese books — by year and course
The exact Haese textbook your child uses depends on their year and, at Year 11, on whether they are on the Standard or Extended pathway. At DP, it depends on which of the four IB courses they chose.
