Handwritten notes that I made for my HL students on the Calculus Option (topic 9) in the IB. These are 23 pages of concise, rich notes, that clarify some of the more complicated aspects of this topic such as Rolle’s theorem or homogeneous differential equations. I use these to inform my teaching, to tell me what I need to cover next, as well as giving the notes to my students so that they can listen properly instead of frantically copying things down from the board. Subtopics:
9.1 - Limits, Squeeze Thm., L’Hôpital’s Rule, Improper Integrals
9.2 - Series and Convergence tests
9.3 - Power Series, Taylor/Maclaurin Series, Error Bounds
9.4 - Continuity, Differentiability, Rolle’s Thm., Mean Value Theorem, Reimann Sums
9.5 - Differential Equations, Separable, Linear, Homogeneous, Euler’s Method, Slope Fields

These are handwritten notes for the third topic of the new Analysis & Approaches SL course, for first exams in 2021. The HL course will contain this content, with some additional trigonometry and vectors subtopics. There will also be significant overlap with the A&I Topic 3. I wrote and sold notes for the old IB courses, which have been fairly successful, so I am in the process of writing notes for the new courses, from scratch.

4 Pythagoras worksheets, which cover the progression from finding just the length of the hypotenuse, through finding the shorter sides, to vector problems, to worded problems, to 3D problems, and finally 3D worded problems.
All are differentiated, and get progressively harder.
For example, the first sheet ends with a question where they have to think of Pythagorean Triples, something which can keep those smart kids occupied for a while!
Handwritten notes I made for my IB students:
- Number Sets
- Approximation/Error
- Standard Form
- SI Units
- Currency Conversion
- GDC Use
- Sequences
- Compound Interest
Two worksheets covering finding angles in parallelograms, kites and trapezia.
Uses the rules of opposite similar angles in a parallelogram, the set of opposite similar angles in a kite and the allied angles in a trapezium.
All of which are related to the parallel angle rules.
