DISCLAIMER - This is now the old course, and for the notes for the new A&A SL course, click here
Complete neatly handwritten notes for the whole course of IB Mathematics SL, as well as a revision checklist. The first topic alone is free, if you would like to see what it’s like.
For a preview of new notes for the 2020 syllabus, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ib-maths-a-and-a-sl-topic-1-algebra-notes-12099054
These are handwritten notes for the fifth topic of the new Analysis & Approaches HL course, for first exams in 2021. This has the 11 subtopics that are included in SL, plus an additional 8 subtopics for HL. There will also be significant overlap with the A&I Topic 5. 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.

Handwritten notes on the new syllabus for IBDP Math for 2021 - Analysis & Approaches HL (A&A HL). It is 111 pages - 24 on Algebra, 19 on Functions, 22 on Trigonometry, 16 on Statistics, 30 on Calculus. So it is far more concise than the ~1000 pages of an HL textbook. It is split into 5 topics, which all have the SL content within them. There will also be significant overlap with the Applications and Interpretations course. 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!
