Why Use Our IB Mathematics AI SL Revision Notes?

Comprehensive Coverage of the Syllabus

Our notes cover every topic in the IB Mathematics AI SL syllabus—from Number & Algebra to Functions, Geometry, Statistics, Probability, and Calculus. Each concept is broken down clearly, making it easier to understand and apply in exams.

Exam-Oriented Practice

Revision notes alone are not enough. Our exam paper practice resources simulate real exam conditions, helping you understand the marking scheme, exam structure, and common question patterns. This allows you to improve your speed, accuracy, and confidence.

Step-by-Step Solutions

All questions come with detailed solutions and explanations. This helps you learn from mistakes, strengthen weak areas, and see exactly how marks are awarded by examiners.

What’s Inside Our IB Mathematics (Applications and Interpretation) SL Revision Notes

Our IB Mathematics (Applications and Interpretation) SL Revision Notes are specifically designed to match the IB syllabus. They break down complex ideas into simpler explanations and are structured to follow each topic in the IB curriculum.

Here’s how they’re organized for maximum benefit:

1. Topic-by-Topic Breakdown

Each chapter is clearly separated and includes:

  • Key formulas

  • Definitions

  • Worked examples

  • Summary tables and diagrams

2. Step-by-Step Solutions

For every concept, our notes include examples with step-by-step solutions. These aren’t just answers — they explain the reasoning behind each step to help you understand how and why the solution works.

3. Practice Questions

After each topic, you’ll find IB-style practice questions with varied difficulty levels. These allow you to test your understanding and improve your exam readiness.

4. Technology Integration Tips

Since the course involves a strong tech component, we’ve added calculator and technology tips, especially useful for graphing, regression analysis, and solving equations.

Tips to Get an A* in IB Mathematics (Applications and Interpretation) SL

It’s not just about how much you study, but how you study. Here are some expert tips to help you use your time and our resources more effectively.

1. Master the Use of Your Calculator

The exam assumes you know how to use your GDC (graphical display calculator) efficiently. Practice:

  • Creating scatter plots

  • Running regression models

  • Finding standard deviations

  • Solving equations graphically

We provide tutorials and calculator walkthroughs in our revision notes to help you feel confident during exams.

2. Use Real Exam Questions from Past Papers

On Exam Papers Practice, you can access actual IB exam papers. Practice under timed conditions to get a feel for the format and question styles. After practicing, check the mark scheme and compare your working to the expected model answers.

3. Make Use of Summaries and Formula Sheets

Our revision notes come with ready-to-use summary pages and formula sheets. You can print them out or keep them handy on your device to review frequently.

4. Break Topics Into Daily Goals

Instead of trying to study everything at once, break your revision into manageable chunks. For example:

  • Monday: Descriptive Statistics

  • Tuesday: Probability

  • Wednesday: Statistical Distributions

  • Thursday: Geometry and Trigonometry

Use our revision notes to focus only on one area per session.

5. Practice Interpreting Data in Context

Many exam questions will ask you to interpret the results or make recommendations based on data. Use real-life scenarios and data sets from our resources to improve these skills.

Understanding IB Mathematics AI SL Exam Papers

The IB Mathematics AI SL exam usually consists of two main papers:

Paper 1: Without a Calculator

  • Focuses on algebra, functions, and basic calculus.

  • Tests your understanding of concepts and techniques without relying on a calculator.

  • Ideal for practicing mental calculations, reasoning, and problem-solving.

Paper 2: Calculator Allowed

  • Includes more complex problems, often involving statistics, probability, and applications of calculus.

  • Designed to assess your ability to apply concepts in real-world contexts.

  • Calculator use is allowed, but understanding the method and reasoning is still essential for full marks.

Paper 3 (Optional/For Some Courses)

  • Some SL courses may offer an internal assessment or extended problem-solving component (Paper 3) depending on the curriculum year.

  • Typically focuses on exploratory tasks, modeling, or applied mathematics.

  • Our revision notes guide how to approach such problems efficiently.

How Our Resources Help You Excel

  • Reinforce Key Concepts: Quickly revise the most important formulas, theorems, and techniques.

  • Boost Exam Confidence: Familiarize yourself with exam-style questions and improve speed and accuracy.
