In this session, we’ll focus on the areas that make the biggest difference going into Papers 1 & 2:
Likely topic areas and question styles that commonly appear
How to interpret IB-style questions correctly
The most common mistakes students make — and how to avoid them
How to approach unfamiliar problems with confidence
Examiner insights into how marks are awarded

IB Maths AA SL is one of the most challenging courses in the diploma — and many students struggle not because of the content, but because of how exam questions are designed.
Resident Sigma Maths is led by Mike Herd, a qualified Mathematics teacher with 18 years’ experience, a former Head of Department in a top international school, and a current IB Maths examiner.
Students are taught not just how to solve problems, but how to approach and communicate solutions in a way that examiners reward.
The result? Year after year, students consistently achieve 6s and 7s under Mike — well above the global average.
In addition to Mike's experience of helping students in China achieve significant improvements in their results for IB Mathematics while working for one of the world's leading international schools, where year on year the significant majority of his class achieved either a 6 or a 7, he has worked privately with many families all over the world to provide help over a range of curricula.
