New IB teacher and IB student resources added
I’ve just added a lot of new free content to support both students and teachers in the IB Mathematics course. This includes:
Paper 3
Paper 3 resources: 13 full exploration questions with full markschemes. This is a selection of the Paper 3 investigations I’ve made over the years. Many of these bridge between Paper 3 practice (exposure to novel or new mathematical ideas) and the Exploration coursework. All of these could be easily adapted to make some very interesting coursework submissions.
Exploration coursework
Exploration Guides: 3 completely free guides covering all aspects of the coursework process. You can download some comprehensive exploration guides that I’ve written to help students get excellent marks on their IB maths coursework. These guides are suitable for both Analysis and also Applications students.
Starter puzzles
Starter puzzles: 14 starter puzzles for beginning lessons with enrichment ideas. I have designed a number of IB Maths starters – these are intended to enrich and (hopefully!) stimulate. Some are aimed at strong HL students and could be developed to interesting coursework tasks, and others are more general access for all classes.
Intermathematics
If you are a teacher and find these useful, then please also visit my new site: intermathematics.com for over 3000+ pages of content for teaching IB mathematics including worksheets, mock exams, investigations, enrichment tasks, technology guides, exploration support and investigations.
IB Maths Resources
On this site you will find IB Maths and IGCSE Maths Resources for IB Maths explorations and investigations. I’ve tried to build connections with real life maths, Theory of Knowledge (ToK) and ideas for maths careers. There are also maths videos, puzzles and lesson resources. Scroll down to see more!
If you are a teacher then please also visit my new site. This has been designed specifically for teachers of mathematics at international schools. The content now includes over 3000 pages of pdf content for the entire SL/HL Analysis and SL/HL Applications syllabus Some of the content includes:
- Original pdf worksheets (with full worked solutions) designed to cover all the syllabus topics. These make great homework sheets or in class worksheets – and are each designed to last between 40 minutes and 1 hour.
- Original Paper 3 investigations (with full worked solutions) to develop investigative techniques and support both the exploration and the Paper 3 examination.
- Over 150 pages of Coursework Guides to introduce students to the essentials behind getting an excellent mark on their exploration coursework.
- A large number of enrichment activities such as treasure hunts, quizzes, investigations, Desmos explorations, Python coding and more – to engage IB learners in the course.
There is also a lot more. I think this could save teachers 200+ hours of preparation time in delivering an IB maths course – so it should be well worth exploring!
You can see some of examples of the content in the Teacher resources section of this site – which has a lot of worksheets and ideas for IB maths teachers.
Many thanks!
