IB Diploma - online 1-to-1

IB Maths AI tutoring, SL and HL

Applications and Interpretation is the IB maths course built around modelling, statistics and technology. Students who expect it to be the easy option are often surprised by the reading and interpretation it demands. Our tutors teach both the maths and the calculator fluency the papers assume.

✓ Statistics and probability, including hypothesis testing
✓ Modelling with functions, sequences and calculus
✓ Graphing calculator fluency for every paper
✓ HL Paper 3: extended modelling problems
✓ The mathematical exploration (IA)
✓ Past papers marked against IB markschemes

How it is assessed

At SL, Paper 1 and Paper 2 are each 1 hour 30 minutes and worth 40%. At HL, Papers 1 and 2 last 2 hours each and are worth 30% apiece, and Paper 3, a one-hour paper of extended problems, adds 20%. At both levels the mathematical exploration is the remaining 20%.

Technology is expected throughout, so marks depend on knowing which calculator function to use and interpreting the output in context.

Where marks are lost

Marked work shows the same patterns year after year:

✓ Answers left as calculator output without interpretation in context
✓ Hypothesis tests with the wrong conclusion wording
✓ Long questions misread, so later parts build on an early slip
✓ Modelling assumptions not stated or justified
✓ An exploration that applies maths without real analysis

AI or AA?

AI suits students heading towards social sciences, biology, business and many medicine courses; AA suits maths, physics and engineering. Some universities specify which they accept, so check the courses on your child's list before DP1 choices are final.

A DP year for Maths AI

1
DP1, first term
Secure the foundations from MYP or IGCSE and learn the command terms the markbands reward.
2
DP1, second half
Plan the internal assessment: a focused question and a realistic method.
3
DP2, autumn
Final IA draft against the criteria, then past-paper practice by topic.
4
DP2, spring
Mocks, then timed papers and review of every lost mark before May.
