Calculators. Graphing calculator expected, as in the exams. Analysis and Approaches keeps non-calculator Paper 1 practice.

Standard and Higher Level share one set of pages in each course; the Higher Level sub-topics are marked on each topic page. Each topic page lists its lessons in syllabus order. Every lesson has something to move that breaks a claim students get wrong, a worked example, questions that name the mistake you made, the calculator steps, and a teacher page. Coming from Year 11? The Coherence Map shows which Year 7 to 11 ideas each Diploma topic builds on. Every Diploma lesson on one page.

Want a verdict on your own draft?

These pages are free and stay free, but they are general and your IA is not. Send me your research question, or whatever exists so far, and I will tell you in writing whether the topic has a ceiling on it, where the marks are going, and what to change first. That costs nothing and it comes back within 24 hours.

Written by a serving IB Diploma and Career-related Programme Coordinator and Head of Mathematics, who reads internal assessments across every subject group every year. If you then want the whole draft reviewed properly against all five criteria, that is the paid one, and it is refunded if it does not name at least three specific things to fix.
