I was a student for more than 20 years, and I have taught hundreds of students since I became a tutor and then a lecturer. Throughout my study and teaching, I have witnessed that many of my classmates or students failed their exams. Some of them may have used time-consuming methods and have not completed all the questions, some of them may have had no idea about using appropriate formulae, or some of them may have skipped essential steps and just given the final results. All these behaviours result in losing marks. With these points in mind, using proper and efficient methods and giving correct and complete responses to questions play a significant role in sitting for the test. As a student, it is very important to analyse what the examiners are testing you in their places. For example, a question worth four marks may be broken down as one mark for showing appropriate method or formula, one mark for substituting the corresponding values into the formula, one mark for working and one mark for finding correct value at the end. In this case, to obtain full marks at least four steps are necessary, and one or two more steps are recommended to improve the chance of obtaining full marks. In this book, I summarise all the knowledge required for standard level mathematics for IB diploma. Some words are written in colour or bold to draw your attention where I think it is important or confusing. Some pragmatic and efficient methods for tests are introduced by some examples where students often have trouble or make mistakes based on my teaching experience. The questions from the papers in the last two years are taken as examples to show a detailed breakdown of marking including the reasons or explanations for each mark. These real test questions may also help you to realise the importance of a section if you find more questions there. In some examples, a solution is given step by step for a non-calculator question, and a shortcut by a graphing calculator is also demonstrated since a similar question may appear on Paper 2. A \textit{Ti-84 Plus Silver} graphing calculator is used for demonstration because I think it is a little more complicated compared with the Casio calculators. The relevant pre-knowledge is also given in Chapter 1 as a brief revision. All in all, solving questions is just like giving your viewpoints by showing your reasons logically but in a mathematical way. Wei ZHANG PhD in Physics PhD in Electrical Engineering

This title forms part of the completely new Mathematics for the IB Diploma series. This highly illustrated coursebook, available in both print and e-book formats, has been written to specifically cover the new IB Standard Level syllabus. Based on the new group 5 aims, the progressive approach encourages cumulative learning. Features include: a dedicated chapter exclusively for combined exercises; plenty of worked examples; questions colour-coded according to grade; exam-style questions; feature boxes of hints and tips. The print book includes a CD-ROM providing a complete e-version of the book, extension worksheets, prior learning sheets, calculator skills sheets and fill-in proofs. These additional materials are also included in the e-book version.

This completely new title is written to specifically cover the new IB Diploma Mathematical Studies syllabus. The significance of mathematics for practical applications is a prominent theme throughout this coursebook, supported with Theory of Knowledge, internationalism and application links to encourage an appreciation of the broader contexts of mathematics. Mathematical modelling is also a key feature. GDC tips are integrated throughout, with a dedicated GDC chapter for those needing more support. Exam hints and IB exam-style questions are provided within each chapter; sample exam papers (online) can be tackled in exam-style conditions for further exam preparation. Guidance and support for the internal assessment is also available, providing advice on good practice when writing the project.

A new series of Exam Preparation guides for the IB Diploma Mathematics HL and SL and Mathematical Studies. This exam preparation guide for the IB Diploma Mathematics Standard Level course breaks the course down into chapters that summarise material and present revision questions by exam question type, so that revision can be highly focused to make best use of students' time. Students can stretch themselves to achieve their best with 'going for the top' questions for those who want to achieve the highest results. Worked solutions for all the mixed and 'going for the top' questions are included, plus exam hints throughout. Guides for Mathematics Higher Level and Mathematical Studies are also available.
