Starting your first IB Maths course means making several decisions at once. You need to understand the syllabus, sequence learning, prepare explanations, choose practice and plan assessments. Full Marks Education brings these tasks together through IB Maths AA and AI resources for SL and HL.

Our range includes editable lesson slide decks, student and teacher notes, worksheets, inquiry-based activities, unit tests, exams and pacing guides. The aim is practical: give you a starting point for planning, teaching and assessment so you can spend more preparation time adapting lessons to your students.

What does an all-in-one IB Maths teaching solution include?

An all-in-one solution supports the work surrounding a lesson as well as the lesson itself. Before teaching, you need a sequence and a clear objective. During the lesson, you need explanations, examples and opportunities to think. Afterwards, you need evidence of what students understand.

Where should a new IB Maths teacher start?

Start with your assigned course, level and teaching cohort. Full Marks Education creates resources for Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation, at both Standard Level and Higher Level. Choose the materials for the course you teach, then check listed coverage against your school scheme of work.

Next, plan one manageable unit. Review its objectives, inspect the available teaching materials and decide how you will assess understanding. This gives you a routine you can repeat across the course. Explore IB Maths AA Resources or IB Maths AI Resources.

How do the resources work together in a teaching week?

Consider an AA calculus unit. Review the slides and notes, decide which examples suit your class and identify where students need practice. Adapt the slide deck by adding retrieval, a smaller explanation or a challenge. Select an inquiry activity that lets students investigate the idea, then use a worksheet to develop fluency. Finally, choose an assessment that matches what you taught.

This connected workflow links explanation, exploration, practice and assessment. See How to Plan a 2-Week IB Maths AA Calculus Unit in Under 15 Minutes for a worked example.

How do editable resources reduce planning work?

Editable slides give you a prepared foundation that you can adjust. Change the order of examples, add your own questions, adjust language or divide a lesson across several periods. The time saving comes from having material available to review and adapt. You still make the teaching decisions: what to emphasize, when to pause and which students need support.

Can I use Full Marks Education alongside a textbook?

Yes. A school may already have a textbook or online practice platform. Full Marks Education can provide editable classroom materials within that setup. You might teach from an adapted slide deck, use notes during the lesson, assign textbook exercises and use a digital platform for additional practice.

How should I check curriculum alignment?

Check the course, level, syllabus version and exam cohort before selecting resources. The IB’s forthcoming DP mathematics courses have first teaching in August 2027 and first assessment in May 2029. Review product coverage and update information against your school’s IB guidance.
