Unusual Equations (Index Laws)
You can use this in a number of ways.
I sometimes get the kids to solve by trial and error (good practice for substitution on a calculator). When they get an x that "works" I write it up on the board. With a board full of solutions I then ask them if they can find any patterns.
Alternatively you could insist that they use index laws to solve the equations in the first place.
Opportunities to discuss 1^n=1, n^0=1, (-1)^2n=1 and 0^0=undefined.

Functions & Limits (Geogebra)
This is a geogebra program for use as a visual aid when teaching students about limits as a prelude to differential calculus. This program has been designed using Geogebra 5.0 (download version). You simply enter the numerator and denominator expressions of a function and specify and x limit. The program will then graph the function and display a point that represents the function value as the x values approach the specified limit. If the function is unable to be evaluated at the limit, the program will advise that the function is undefined and will show this as a hole in the graph. The program can also present a table of values as the function approaches the limit as well as any asymptote lines that exist in the function.
VOCABULARY STORY 675 WHAT THINGS MADE LINCOLN A CLEAR PICK FOR PRESIDENT?
MAKE A STORY WITH THESE WORDS:
OBSCURE
RUDIMENTARY
STAGNANT
VIGOR
NEBULOUS
SUPERFLUOUS
RETICENT
CHARISMATIC
REVERENT
REPUDIATE
Lincoln came from Illinois, a rudimentary stagnant place in 1836.
He was obscure and nebulous; yet he had superfluous charm - a charismatic nature.
He had vigor to repudiate slavery which won him fame.
Never reticent, he had a clear path to the presidency.
In 1836, Lincoln hailed from a modest, unmoving corner of Illinois. Though largely unknown and undefined, he possessed an excess of charm and magnetic appeal. With fierce energy, he rejected slavery and rose to prominence. Bold and unwavering, his journey to the presidency was undeniable.

IB Math AI Worksheet SL 5.6 - Local Maxima & Minima
This IB Maths AI SL 5.6 – Local Maxima & Minima resource develops students’ understanding of how derivatives are used to identify and classify turning points on curves. Learners focus on critical points, where the derivative is zero or undefined, and use both the first derivative test and second derivative test to determine whether these points represent local maxima or local minima. The material builds clear connections between algebraic derivative information and changes in graphical behaviour.
Structured tasks guide students through differentiating functions, solving (f’(x)=0), and constructing sign charts to interpret where functions increase or decrease. Students learn to recognise how sign changes in the derivative indicate turning points, and how concavity information from the second derivative supports classification. Conceptual prompts emphasise the difference between local and absolute extrema, reinforcing exam-relevant reasoning.
IB Math AI Worksheet 5.1 - Limits
This IB Maths AI SL 5.1 – Limits worksheet builds students’ foundational understanding of limits as a way of describing how functions behave as inputs approach particular values. Learners develop fluency with limit notation, one-sided limits, and the idea that a function can approach a value even when it is undefined at that point. Core concepts such as approaching values, discontinuities, and the connection between limits and rates of change are introduced through clear, structured tasks.
Guided activities move from estimating limits using tables and algebraic simplification to classifying removable, jump, and infinite discontinuities. Students practise evaluating one-sided limits, applying limit laws, and using factoring and rationalising techniques to resolve indeterminate forms. The resource also supports conceptual reasoning, encouraging learners to explain in words why limits exist or fail to exist and to interpret graphical and algebraic behaviour together.
IB Math AI 5.1 - Limits Notes
This IB Maths AI SL 5.1 – Limits, Rate of Change & Derivatives resource introduces the core ideas of calculus through clear, intuitive development. Students first explore limits as the value a function approaches near a point, even when the function may be undefined, building understanding of function behaviour at “problem points” .
The lesson then links gradients of lines to average rate of change on curves using secant lines, before introducing instantaneous rate of change and the derivative through the difference quotient and limit notation. Students learn to interpret the derivative as the gradient at a single point and become familiar with standard derivative notation .
Structured notes, guided examples, and an optional extension on the formal definition of limits support both core SL understanding and deeper conceptual insight, preparing students for further calculus applications in IB Mathematics AI SL.
