Complete unit planner for IB Mathematics Analysis and Approaches Topic 1-A: Number Systems, Indices & Scientific Notation. Covers number systems, exponent laws, surds, rational exponents, and scientific notation. Designed for combined SL/HL classrooms.

What’s inside?

7 complete lesson plans – 75-minute structured lessons.

Lesson 1: Real number system (N⊂Z⊂Q⊂R), irrational numbers, HL proof by contradiction (√2∉Q).
Lesson 2: Recurring decimals to fractions (0.9Ì„=1 debate).
Lesson 3: Exponent laws from first principles.
Lesson 4: Rational exponents (root-first strategy).
Lesson 5: Surd arithmetic and rationalisation (HL conjugates).
Lesson 6: Scientific notation, significant figures, magnitude reasoning.
Lesson 7: Review, consolidation and summative assessment.

For the complete Topic 1 Number and Algebra (8 unit planners and 56 lesson plans), please visit /teaching-resource/resource-13494093

Each lesson includes – Learning outcomes (SL/HL differentiation), cross-curricular hook, prior knowledge check (with diagnostic questions), direct instruction with worked examples, student activities (card sorts, error detection, group problem-solving), HL extension tasks, IB exam connection, formative assessment (exit tickets, mini-whiteboard checks), homework, teacher notes.

SL/HL differentiation – HL: proof by contradiction (√2 irrational), rationalising binomial surd denominators with conjugates, complex surd expressions, density of rationals/irrationals.

Assessment – Formative: exit tickets, card sort, error detection, peer GDC verification, peer teaching. Summative: 25-mark SL test + 6-mark HL extension (Paper 1 style: no GDC, exact answers, full working).

Resources – Oxford IB Mathematics AA, Cambridge IB Mathematics AA, IB Questionbank, Desmos, GeoGebra, YouTube (Powers of Ten), NRICH.

Cross-curricular hooks – Astronomy (Proxima Centauri), Biology (human cells/bacteria), Chemistry (Avogadro’s number, pH), Physics (pendulum formula, transistors, DNA).

Perfect for: Teachers delivering T1-A across 3 weeks. Combined SL/HL classrooms. Building exact algebraic fluency for Paper 1.

Bundle

IBDP Mathematics AA: Whole Course Bundle | All 5 Topics, 38 Unit Planners, 266 Lesson Plans, 2-Year SOW + Assessment Guides

Plan, teach and assess the whole IB Diploma Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches course from one download. This bundle brings together all five Topic bundles, the two-year Scheme of Work and the full assessment guide series, so everything from the first lesson to the final exam and Internal Assessment is covered in one place. Course at a glance 5 topics | 38 unit planners | 266 lesson plans | 1 two-year Scheme of Work | Assessment guides for Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3 and the IA What’s included Topic 1: Number and Algebra 8 unit planners | 56 lesson plans Sequences and series, exponents and logarithms, and the algebraic tools the rest of the course relies on. Topic 2: Functions 5 unit planners | 35 lesson plans Linear, quadratic and other functions, their graphs, transformations, composite and inverse functions, and modelling. Topic 3: Geometry and Trigonometry 7 unit planners | 49 lesson plans Three-dimensional geometry, trigonometric functions and identities, and the circle and its applications. Topic 4: Statistics and Probability 8 unit planners | 56 lesson plans Descriptive statistics, probability, distributions, and the inference and regression tools students use in data-based questions. Topic 5: Calculus 10 unit planners | 70 lesson plans Differentiation, integration, and their applications to graphs, optimisation, kinematics and areas. IBDP Mathematics AA: Complete 2-Year Scheme of Work (SOW) A ready-made timetable for the two years that sequences all five topics, so you can see how the units fit together and plan your teaching calendar. IBDP Mathematics AA: Complete Assessment Guide Series Guides for Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3, plus the Internal Assessment (IA) Guide, to help students prepare for every component of the final grade. In total: 38 unit planners and 266 lesson plans, with the SOW to sequence them and the assessment guides to prepare students for every paper and the IA. How to use this bundle Start with the Scheme of Work to set your two-year calendar and the order of topics. Then open the unit planner for each topic as you reach it and teach lesson by lesson. Use the assessment guides alongside the units, so students meet Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3 and the IA early rather than in the final term. Who it is for New IB Mathematics AA teachers who want a complete course ready to teach Experienced teachers who want to save planning time or refresh a course Heads of department and IB coordinators building a department-wide course Schools introducing Mathematics AA for the first time Why teachers will like it A complete course, planned for you. All five topics are mapped out lesson by lesson, so you are never starting from a blank page. Saves hours of planning. Each unit has its own planner, so you can teach straight from the document or adapt it to your class. Planning and assessment together. The SOW gives you the timetable, and the assessment guides cover the exams and the IA from the start, rather than leaving them to the final term. Works for any school. Suitable for new or experienced teachers, and for heads of department and IB coordinators building or reviewing a course. Better value. Everything is in one download, for less than buying the products separately, and every part of the course sits in one place, ready whenever you need it.
