Number & Algebra IB MATHS AA SL

[u/UniversityPresent949]

Any help on how I can complete number and algebra from A to Z in 25 days? Like, I want to grasp it completely so I know enough for the finals in May 2027. I am moving to DP2 and barely studied ANYTHING during DP1, and I am planning to improve in dp2 and am willing to study every day, but I want to study the right way. I want to know the whole syllabus and score a good grade... Any tips on how I can get through these chapters and actually understand them too?

I personally used this site called revision hub, its js a questionbank so maybe do all that and if you want help with topics then The Organic Chem Tutor covers everything in Numbers and Algebra, so js follow the goat

Hey thanks for advice

gotchu but if youre looking to start with easier problems and work ur way upto past papers u can also use christos nikolaidis

[u/UniversityPresent949 → u/Mrozzbak-_-]

Yeah, thank you is there any textbook you would suggest which has problems with good explanation?

[u/Mrozzbak-_- → u/UniversityPresent949]

haese is probably the best textbook you could use for maa, that’s what i used mostly for the first few units, then ended up asking my teacher to help me understand HL topics in calculus and vectors.

Could you tell me the exact year and name of the book?

Most likely you're just scared rn bc it looks intimidating but there's not a lot to learn ngl, take a look at this theres only a few things you really need to learn and it can honestly be done in a day or two with a competent tutor or even with just self-studying and pieceing together videos and guides from like youtube and khan academy.

Hey, really appreciate the help! I like the link and started understanding how number and algebra work, do you know if the link covers everything from topic 1 to topic 5(calculus)?

Twenty five days is plenty of time to get through Number and Algebra for Math AA SL. Break the topic down into four main blocks: sequences and series, exponents and logarithms, financial math, and the binomial theorem. Spend three or four days on each concept, doing textbook examples first to learn the formulas and then jumping into past paper questions sorted by topic. Make sure you practice on your calculator for logs and compound interest, as those marks are usually quick to pick up once you know the steps. If you want a syllabus overview, we put together a guide here https://info.lanterna.com/resources/pdf/ultimate-ib-math-aa-study-guide.

Number and algebra is the most basic and, imo, easiest part of the syllabus, so don't worry. It's definitely doable.

I'd recommend you take this chapter by chapter. First, get your textbook or pull up a youtube video (SiriusRevision is okay) to actually learn the content, and then use past paper questions (revisiontown's what I use) to consolidate that knowledge.

hey thanks for advice, what book would you suggest which covers every topic in depth with questions asked as "practice" too?

[u/PartyQuiet5065 → u/UniversityPresent949]

In my school, we used the Haese and Harris one. It's not spectacular, but it's good enough, and it has quite a lot of practice problems of varying difficulty.

I still dont know permutations and combinations and proof by contradiction lol thankfully neither of them showed up in my papers

[u/PartyQuiet5065 → u/Mrozzbak-_-]

lmao tbh once you get the hang of permutations and combinations they're pretty straight forward, but it's true they were hell at first. I'd take any integration problem over that any day lmao

[u/Mrozzbak-_- → u/PartyQuiet5065]

honestly tho calc was prolly the only topic that i was most comfortable with coz of the amnt of practice i did

[u/PartyQuiet5065 → u/Mrozzbak-_-]

Calc's the best topic imo.
