  • IB Questionbank Test
    Dear IB Math Studies SL Year 2 Students, We have covered chapter 1 (number and algebra 1), chapter 2 (descriptive statistics), chapter 5 (statistical applications), chapter 7 (number and algebra 2) and chapter 9 (logic) during your first year in IB Math Studies SL. To be ready for the first day in your second year in math studies, certain concepts taught on your first year need to be reviewed. Remember that the finals exam especially the IB exams (paper 1 and 2) will cover all topics from chapters 1 through 10. To prepare you, the attached worksheet needs to be completed over the summer. It is to be turned in on the first day of class and will count as your first quiz grade. You need to solve them completely – showing your steps along the way. If just an answer is given without any work to accompany it, it will not receive credit. Any graphing needs to be done on actual graph paper (with a ruler – no freehand graphs!) Graphs not done on graph paper will receive no credit. Do NOT put multiple problems in the same graph unless told to do so. Late work loses 10% per school day it is late. Please do not hesitate to e-mail me at [email protected], if you have questions or concerns. However, please know that I will have professional development workshop for the months of June to July so I will not be able to quickly respond but you will definitely receive a reply between 24-48 hours. Have a great summer and good luck! Thanks, Mr.
