→Core requirements and subject groups: removed redundant detail ('CS from group 4' already included in 'additional subject from 1-4' so doesn't also need to be mentioned separately) |
→Core requirements and subject groups: 'foreign languages' had also apparently been slotted in to the group 6 paragraph despite clearly being group 2 and not group 6, e.g. see https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/curriculum/ |

*[[IB Group 5 subjects|Group 5: Mathematics]]. All students hoping to graduate with an IB Diploma must take a math class, with courses available at different levels and with different focus. There are two distinct IB Math courses, both available at standard or higher level: ''Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches,'' with an emphasis on algebraic methods and mathematical thinking, and ''Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation'', with an emphasis on modelling and statistics, and with a focus on using technology to solve problems with real-world applications. These curricula were introduced in major changes in 2019 and 2021'','' replacing the previous curricula with a new structure. Under the 2019 course changes, Further Mathematics were dropped entirely.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ibo.org/university-admission/recognition-of-the-ib-diploma-by-countries-and-universities/latest-curriculum-updates/mathematics-curriculum-changes/|title=Mathematics curriculum changes|website=International Baccalaureate®|language=en|access-date=2019-05-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Finding the best fit: New DP mathematics courses |url=https://blogs.ibo.org/blog/2019/06/20/mathematics-subject-breakdown/ |website=The IB Community Blog |publisher=ibo.org |access-date=6 July 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Brading |first=Gareth |title=Exploring the changes to the DP Mathematics course structure : Secondary: Oxford University Press |url=https://global.oup.com/education/content/secondary/key-issues/new-ib-dp-mathematics-syllabus/ |access-date=2022-04-14 |website=global.oup.com |language=en}}</ref> Before 2019, in order of increasing difficulty, the courses offered were [[IB Group 5 subjects#Mathematical Studies SL|Mathematical Studies SL]], [[IB Group 5 subjects#Mathematics SL and HL|Mathematics SL and HL]], and [[IB Group 5 subjects#Further Mathematics HL|Further Mathematics HL]].
