Learn MoreThe collection brings together materials for planning, teaching, practice and assessment in Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches. Depending on the product, you may receive editable lesson slides, student and teacher notes, printable worksheets, inquiry tasks, unit tests, exam-style papers, mark schemes, pacing guidance or a complete curriculum kit. Each product page lists its files and level so you can select a single subtopic, a five-unit slide bundle or a connected course system.
The resources are designed to keep the mathematical story joined up. Slides establish notation, concepts and worked examples; notes give students a usable record; worksheets develop procedural fluency and reasoning; and exam practice asks students to select and communicate methods independently. The catalog below is fixed to AA, so AI-only resources are excluded before the search and category filters are applied.
Analysis and Approaches is organised across five compulsory topics: number and algebra; functions; geometry and trigonometry; statistics and probability; and calculus. AA emphasises mathematical reasoning, algebraic manipulation, generalisation and the ability to construct and communicate arguments. Resources may focus on one subtopic—such as composite functions, trigonometric functions or regression—or organise lessons across a full unit and all five course topics.
Typical coverage includes sequences and series, exponentials and logarithms, proof and the binomial theorem, function transformations and inverses, trigonometry, vectors, probability distributions, statistical techniques, differentiation, integration and differential equations. Not every item belongs at both levels. Use the resource-type filter, then check the product description for precise content and whether technology is expected.
Both AA SL and AA HL cover all five topics and complete a mathematical exploration. SL is designed for 150 recommended teaching hours, including the exploration, while HL is designed for 240 hours and extends the course substantially. AA HL develops more advanced algebra, proof, functions, geometry and calculus and includes a third external examination paper. That makes the level label as important as the course label when selecting a resource.
Choose an “SL only” product for a focused Standard Level sequence. Choose “SL/HL” when you need the shared core plus clearly connected Higher Level development, or when one department teaches both levels. Before checkout, confirm the level and file list on the product page; the AA filter prevents course mismatch, but it does not automatically decide SL or HL for you.
AA students need repeated opportunities to move between accurate technique and mathematical justification. A useful worksheet can scaffold a new method, vary representations and finish with unfamiliar problems that reveal whether students understand why the method works. Exam resources add time pressure, command terms and longer chains of reasoning. The previews below show the style of worksheet and assessment material found in the collection; individual products contain different pages and file combinations.
To inspect a complete lesson workflow, request the free regression lines pack. You can compare the editable presentation with the teacher notes, student notes and printable lesson before choosing a paid AA resource.
Preview a connected AA lesson on regression lines and interpreting a fitted model. The download contains an editable PowerPoint, student notes, teacher notes, a printable lesson PDF and a lesson-pack guide.
The current AA files are organised around the IB Diploma Programme Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches course with first assessment in 2021. The Complete Curriculum Kit includes our 2027 curriculum alignment guarantee: it will be updated for the revised course beginning first teaching in 2027, and existing purchasers will receive that update at no extra cost. Check individual product pages for the update status of resources sold separately.
Editable files are clearly identified in each product listing. The lesson-pack samples include an editable PowerPoint, while teacher notes, student notes and printable lesson files are supplied as PDFs. Check the individual product description for its exact file formats.
Choose AA only if your students are enrolled in Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches. AA places more emphasis on algebraic reasoning, mathematical argument and calculus; AI places more emphasis on modelling, statistics, real-world contexts and technology. Confirm the course and level with your school or IB coordinator before buying.
Yes. Product titles and descriptions identify whether a resource is for SL, HL or both. HL extends the same five compulsory topic areas with greater breadth and depth, so use the fixed course filter on this page and then verify the level on the product card.
