Mathematics: Core Topics SL 1

"Mathematics: Core Topics SL" is designed for the IB Diploma Programme's Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches SL and Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation SL courses. It was introduced to support teaching from August 2019, with the first round of assessments taking place in May 2021. Providing a unified set of topics, this book allows educators to instruct all SL students cohesively from the start of their studies. As the first of two necessary texts for the SL Mathematics curriculum, this book serves as a foundation before students move on to the specialized textbook that aligns with their specific course focus—be it Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation. This transition typically occurs around 6-7 months into the two-year program.
