Slides presentations covering the following IB Maths SL AI units:
4.5: Set Notation and Sample Space Diagrams
4.6: Venn Diagrams
4.7: Discrete Random Variables
4.8: The Binomial Distribution
4.9: The Normal Distribution
Bonus resource:
Normal distributions past-paper questions, plus answers
I am currently using these reosurces with my students at school and they find them to be really clear and helpful.
This is a full lesson plan that I created as part of my IB Maths AI Cat 1 course. It involves students using the free Desmos graphing software to explore translations and stretches of quadratic functions. I have included Word (editable) and pdf versions - a nice, quick lesson plan to present if you have an observation, for example.
Curricula this most aligns with are as follows:
IB Maths AI -Course Guide sections 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5
A-Level Maths: Quadratic functions
GCSE and IGCSE Maths: Graphs of Quadratic Functions
Suitable for Key Stage 3 onwards, these questions allow practice in the addition of fractions. Denominators are different, and answers can be given in mixed or classical form!
Brilliant as a starter or 'chunking' activity. Will keep students busy for a while.
The excellent slide presentation goes through the IA process for both IB Maths AI and AA. The topics and features it includes are as follows:
The grading criteria
Examples of bad practice, with examples of how to correct the errors
Guidance on how to choose an IA topic
Lots of IA topic suggestions
This slideshow is a great resource that be used to introduce your IBDP Maths AA and AI students to the IA.
What’s included:
Slides, worksheet and answers
This PowerPoint, worksheet and answer key are perfect for teaching your KS3 students all about operations with integers and decimals. I have designed these resources to pair perfectly with the Kangaroo Maths system, but they will apply to other systems too. Key learning points covered include:
Multiply a positive integer by a power of 10
Multiply a decimal by a power of 10
Divide a positive integer by a power of 10
Divide a decimal by a power of 10
Add numbers up to six-digits using a formal written method
Add decimals with the same, and different, number of decimal places
Subtract numbers up to six-digits using a formal written method
Subtract decimals with the same, and different, number of decimal places
Multiply a number up to four-digits by a one or two-digit number using a formal written method
Transform a multiplication involving decimals to a corresponding multiplication with integers
Multiply a large integer up to four-digits by a decimal of up to 2dp using integer multiplication
Divide a number up to four-digits by a one or two-digit number using a formal written method
Use a formal method to divide a decimal by an integer < 10
Use a formal method to divide a decimal by an integer greater than 10
Transform a calculation involving the division of decimals to an equivalent division involving integers
Apply the order of operations to multi-step calculations involving up to four operations and brackets
This PowerPoint, worksheet and answer key are perfect for teaching your KS3 students all about numbers and the number system. I have designed these resources to pair perfectly with the Kangaroo Maths system, but they will apply to other systems too. Key learning points covered include:
