An evidence-based masterclass on dominating the IB DP Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches Standard Level exam. Learn how to manage the strict non-calculator and calculator split, write mathematically robust proofs, structure kinematics integrals, and avoid the subtle pitfalls that separate a grade 6 from a 7.

電卓の規定
A graphic display calculator (GDC) from the IB-approved list is required for most Mathematics and Sciences papers and must be set to examination mode. Note that some papers do not permit a calculator (for example Mathematics Paper 1 and the multiple-choice Sciences Paper 1).
AO1: Knowledge and understanding
AO2: Problem solving
AO3: Mathematical presentation and communication

電卓プログラム
Graph: zeros, intersections & turning points
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: Plot a function to read its roots (zeros), points of intersection, and maxima/minima.
使う場面: Checking solutions, sketching, or solving where an analytic method is hard.
手順
Graph the function(s) and use the built-in zero, intersect and maximum/minimum tools.
試験での注意: Use a GDC from the IB-approved list in examination mode. Some papers do not permit a calculator. Always show your reasoning.
Numerical equation solver
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: Solve an equation or find a variable numerically when an algebraic route is long or implicit.
使う場面: Iterative or implicit equations, or to confirm an algebraic solution.
手順
Use the equation/zero solver, entering the equation and a sensible starting estimate.
試験での注意: Use a GDC from the IB-approved list in examination mode. Some papers do not permit a calculator. Always show your reasoning.
Numerical integration & differentiation
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: Evaluate a definite integral \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx\) or a gradient \(f'(x)\) at a point.
使う場面: Checking calculus answers, or where only a numerical value is needed.
手順
Use the GDC's numeric integral / derivative function with the limits or the point.
試験での注意: Use a GDC from the IB-approved list in examination mode. Some papers do not permit a calculator. Always show your reasoning.
Statistics & probability distributions
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: 1-var/2-var statistics, linear regression, and cumulative binomial / normal / Poisson probabilities without tables.
使う場面: Statistics questions and hypothesis tests.
手順
Enter data in the statistics editor, or use the distribution menu (binomial cdf, normal cdf, …).
試験での注意: Use a GDC from the IB-approved list in examination mode. Some papers do not permit a calculator. Always show your reasoning.
よくあるミス
1high影響する配点: 2Functions
Writing asymptote equations as simple numbers instead of full linear equations (e.g., writing '2' instead of 'x = 2' or 'y = 2').
回避方法: Always state asymptotes using both the variable and the value, for example: vertical asymptote is x = c, horizontal asymptote is y = k.
2high影響する配点: 3Calculus
Omitting the constant of integration (+C) in general solutions of indefinite integrals or separable differential equations.
回避方法: Train yourself to write '+ C' immediately upon performing any indefinite integration step before attempting to apply boundary conditions.
3medium影響する配点: 4Calculus
Calculating total distance in kinematics by simply subtracting initial and final displacement, ignoring changes in direction.
回避方法: Use the absolute value of velocity inside the integral: integrate |v(t)| from t1 to t2, or calculate individual positive and negative area segments separately.
4high影響する配点: 1Number and algebra
Rounding intermediate decimal numbers during multi-step GDC calculations on Paper 2, causing rounding errors in the final answer.
回避方法: Keep the unrounded values in your GDC memory history, and only round the final stated answer to 3 significant figures (or 2 decimal places for financial quantities).
5medium影響する配点: 2Functions
Failing to check if calculated values of a parameter satisfy domain constraints (e.g., retaining a negative value for a probability parameter or a dimension like radius).
回避方法: Explicitly write down boundary constraints, such as 0 <= p <= 1 for probabilities or r > 0 for lengths, and formally reject extraneous mathematical roots with a brief comment.
