About Math Annex Vienna Founded in February 2009, the Math Annex is a center
designed to support students of Vienna's international schools in Mathematics
within a professionally organized and thoroughly executed training system. The
primary target group are students from Grades 9 to 12.
Units for younger pupils and University students are offered as well. The sessions are held
in very tight reference to the students' current classes in their respective
international schools. The same books are used, current topics are treated
and reviewed, test calendars are kept.
The typical lesson frequency is once a
week, 60 minutes. The use of technology
(calculators, computer programs) is an integral part of the lessons,
either corresponding to their expected use in the course
or granting a deeper access to the material. Original documents or additional
practice material from a variety of mathematical sources are distributed
electronically for better understanding and more productive study time. Students taking
IB Mathematics
courses in the two final school years
can expect continuous competent support in all facets and challenges of the academic program. Since the Math Annex opening they have been the prominent majority of its student body.
The general goal is an overall deeper understanding and better application of the material,
enabling the student to reach or maintain high grades with increasing ease,
complete assignments successfully and be optimally prepared for final
examinations and college entrance tests. Three
different types of units are offered: private tutorials, small groups (2 to 3
students) or large groups (up to 9 students). See Registration for further details. All types are also offered online. In addition,
special workshops
and group sessions
are offered, e.g. for final exam preparation, project tips and guidelines or technology support. These sessions are held within the same office
building or, if requested by a local international school, within its own premises.
Until 2023, the Math Annex was situated in a large office building conveniently located right by the Heiligenstadt station (see map). Due to the sudden departure of the facility management company Regus, all office space contracts were ceased prematurely and a continuation of the tenancy was not offered by the owner. Premises of a similar nature have not yet been found in the same area but individual solutions, online sessions and alternate locations are guaranteeing a continuation of the thorough mathematical support so often needed. |
