AA or AI: Which course fits your strengths?
AA often suits students who enjoy symbolic reasoning and mathematical analysis. AI emphasizes modelling, interpreting information and mathematical applications. Both demand consistent practice, and HL extends the depth and breadth of learning. Check university entry requirements before choosing.
A smarter IB Mathematics revision routine
Start by revisiting one key concept, solve questions without notes, check every error, then retry a similar problem a few days later. Mix topics regularly so you learn to identify the method rather than memorise a sequence.
How to approach your Mathematics IA
Choose a question you genuinely want to investigate, ensure the mathematics is appropriate for your course, explain your decisions and evaluate limitations. Your exploration should show your own mathematical thinking—not simply display a complicated formula.
Clastify · IB Mathematics IA Examples
Explore student Mathematics Internal Assessment examples to understand different approaches, mathematical communication and reflection. Use samples for inspiration and critical evaluation, never to copy or submit someone else’s work. Your school’s guidance and current IB criteria take priority.
Grade 10: the foundations that matter most
Build fluency in algebraic manipulation, surds, equations, inequalities, functions, graphs and trigonometry. These skills make the transition to IB Diploma Mathematics smoother and more confident.
04 · Exam Preparation Checklist
- Check the current syllabus and assessment requirements for your examination session.
- Learn notation, definitions and calculator procedures carefully.
- Practise both familiar and unfamiliar problems under timed conditions.
- Keep an error log and revisit weak topics every week.
- Show mathematical reasoning and check answers for plausibility.

Official IB Mathematics Past Paper Problem-Solving
Practise real IB examination questions together, with guided explanations and individual feedback. I will provide access to appropriate past-paper questions for our lessons, and we will solve them step by step, focusing on the reasoning, methods and clear mathematical working expected in IB examinations.
Sessions can cover Mathematics AA SL, AA HL, AI SL and AI HL, including paper-specific exam strategies, calculator techniques where permitted, time management and common mistakes. You will have opportunities to attempt the questions independently before reviewing complete solutions together.
