Module 1 of 47Lesson 5 of 5 · Topic Revision — Course Map (all 78 subtopics)

Your 2-month study plan

Finish the whole course in 8 weeks. Study 5–6 days a week and do one subtopic per session: read “What you must know”, try every question on paper, then check the solutions.

  • SL students: finish all the SL items. You are done when the progress bar reaches 100%. About 1 hour a day.
  • HL students: finish every SL item and every HL item. About 2 hours a day, with two subtopics on most days.
  • Choose Standard or Higher at the top of the lesson menu. Your progress bar and course completion then count the right items for you.

SL plan: 39 subtopics + mock papers

Fell behind? Do not skip a week. Add one extra session on Saturday until you catch up. The course map below links straight to every subtopic.

IB Mathematics: Applications & Interpretation

Your one-stop revision course for SL and HL. Every subtopic gives you the short notes you must know, the exact TI-Nspire CX II steps, and at least 10 exam-style questions with full step-by-step solutions.

How to use this course

  1. Read the “What you must know” box — it is short on purpose.
  2. Try each question on paper before opening the solution.
  3. Follow the GDC screens on your own TI-Nspire CX II, key by key.
  4. SL students skip anything marked HL only. HL students do everything.

Topic 1 · Number and Algebra
