Here are 37 unit plans for the new IB curriculum.
14 unit plans for standard level AA
13 unit plans for standard level AI
10 unit plans for higher level AA
They are based on the Oxford books.
Hopefully they will save you a few hours work!
This is a resource I created for my HL students to practice for Paper 2 (Listening). They are based on 4 minute interviews with Trevor Noah and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie so that they can practice their conceptual understanding (variance).
I have attached the assessment as both PDF and Word, and the mark scheme is attached as well.
EDIT: I have fixed some errors in both versions, concerning discrepancy between mark scheme and answers, and seemingly contradictory questions.
This is just a copied and pasted version from the English B guide, that teachers can print out and use to mark their students work, or make available to students without having to go through the guide. I do not claim ownership over this mark scheme and I do not have author’s rights, I simply extracted this information from the Language B guide. There is both a PDF and a Word version.
A comprehensive worksheet for all the calculator skills needed for IB maths students - divided into 3 parts for IB Studies, IB Standard Level and IB Higher Level. Suitable to give out to students and also useful for teachers of IB.
IB Spanish ab initio
Paper 1 (30%)
I have categorised the texts from the 2005-2015 IB Spanish ab initio exam papers into their topic area.
Some texts overlap topics and appear in multiple areas.
IB Maths AI SL 4.6 Notes – Rules of Probability
This IB Maths AI SL 4.6 resource covers the Rules of Probability and is fully aligned with the IB Applications and Interpretation syllabus. It develops formal probability notation and key concepts including intersection, union, complements, mutually exclusive events, conditional probability, independence, and the product rule.
Students learn how to interpret and construct Venn diagrams and sample space diagrams, calculate probabilities using tree diagrams for sequential events, apply conditional probability using ( P(A \mid B) ), and verify independence using ( P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B) ). Structured examples and exam style practice tasks (including survey data, medical testing scenarios, and spinner experiments) help students connect diagrams, tables of outcomes, and symbolic notation with confidence.
Ideal for IB Maths AI SL teachers teaching Topic 4 probability, this ready to use resource strengthens conceptual understanding of probability rules while saving valuable planning time.
IB Maths AI SL 4.7 Notes – Discrete Random Variables & Expected Value
This IB Maths AI SL 4.7 resource covers Discrete Random Variables and Expected Value and is fully aligned with the IB Applications and Interpretation syllabus
Students learn how to work with discrete probability distributions, apply the condition ( \sum p(x) = 1 ), determine missing constants, calculate probabilities such as ( P(X \geq 2) ), and compute expected value using ( E(X) = \sum x p(x) ). The idea of a fair game is also explored through expected profit.
The file includes a teacher copy with fully worked solutions and clear explanations, making it ideal for efficient instruction and exam preparation.
Perfect for IB Maths AI SL teachers teaching Topic 4 probability and expected value.
These are two sample assessments I created for my HL English B students. The topics are mine, but I tried to follow the language used in standard Language B assessments. One of them I attached as a PDF as well as a Word document.
I've uploaded a variety of tarsia puzzles I&'ve made, there&';s a mixture of difficulty levels - from IB HL to Studies. Fits well with A level topics too. Poisson distribution, Binomial distribution, normal distribution matrices determinents, functions, probability and differentiation (product rule, chain rule), integration
This is a short lesson I created to introduce my students to the IB course (first assessment 2020). When I put “Look. Be amazed”, I will be showing them my brief plan for the term. If you would like to see a copy of it, please let me know in your review of this activity, and I will add it.
This is just a copied and pasted version from the English B guide, that teachers can print out and use to mark their students work, or make available to students without having to go through the guide. I do not claim ownership over this mark scheme and I do not have author’s rights, I simply extracted this information from the Language B guide. There is both a PDF and a Word version.
Handwritten notes I made for my IB students:
- Number Sets
- Approximation/Error
- Standard Form
- SI Units
- Currency Conversion
- GDC Use
- Sequences
- Compound Interest
Revision activities for Paper 3 IB economics, including linear equations, unemployment, inflation, GDP, comparative and absolute advantage and theory of a firm calculations.
This is an activity I created for my 1st year IB DP students to help them get used to the new assessment component of the curriculum.
The screenshots on the slides are not mine, and I do not claim author’s rights over them. They are screenshots from a webinar on the listening assessment hosted by the IBO.
This is meant as an initiation resource for HL students, but could work for SL as well.
This is my powerpoint for an IB Chemistry Option D class at my school in Shanghai. It is extremely thorough, accurate and profusely illustrated, with many molecular models, and leavened with touches of humor. The graphics are designed to be used with a remote presenter.
The content reflects the 2009 Option D curriculum, but should be adaptable to the new 2014 version. Teachers may adapt the material, however, I request that my name and school information be left in place.
The second version is without the background image for printing purposes.
This free resource has handwritten notes for the first topic of the new Analysis and Approaches SL course, for first exams in 2020. The HL course will contain this content, with some additional Algebra subtopics. There will also be significant overlap with the A&I Topic 1. I wrote and sold notes for the current IB courses, which have been fairly successful, so I am in the process of writing notes for the new courses, from scratch.
My hope is that you will have a look at this free download, and if it seems like it would be helpful, please ‘follow’ my shop, so you will be notified when the remainder of the notes become available over the next few months. Please let me know if you have any feedback or improvements that could be made.
This topic includes:
1.1 - Standard Form/Scientific Notation
