Choose what to work on

IB Math AA HL revision starts with the task you find difficult.

A longer HL problem can connect calculus, algebra and proof. State what remains to be established before treating a numerical pattern as a general result.

Step 3

Practise the reasoning again

Start with a purported induction proof that assumes the very next case it is meant to establish. After discussing it, attempt another example independently.

Keep the learning loop concrete
  • Attempt a task before asking for the explanation.
  • Identify the first step you cannot justify.
  • Try a new task and compare your reasoning.
Know the assessment

IB Math AA HL needs the right kind of practice.

HL combines written examinations and an internally assessed mathematical exploration.

Proof and extended mathematical reasoning

A longer HL problem can connect calculus, algebra and proof. State what remains to be established before treating a numerical pattern as a general result.

Match the paper requirements

HL includes a further problem-solving paper as well as non-calculator and calculator work.

Practise independently

This page concerns the course assessed through November 2028; the revised mathematics courses first assess in 2029.

Use the current assessment framework. Tutoring feedback is a study aid, not an official grade.
A revision example

Look at the reasoning, one step at a time.

Separate the base case, induction hypothesis and induction step, then identify exactly where the hypothesis may be used.

Illustrative learning scenario

Prove by induction that 1 + 3 + ⋯ + (2n − 1) = n² for every positive integer n.

Try the task before opening the explanation. Then compare each step with your own reasoning.

Original teaching scenario by AskSia. This is not an official examination question or an official marked answer.

1Check the base case
At n = 1, the left side is 1 and the right side is 1².
Identify what the task asks before choosing a method.
2State the induction hypothesis
Assume the result is true for one arbitrary positive integer k: the sum of its first k odd numbers is k².
Check this step against the quantities or evidence given.
3Establish the next case
Add the next odd number, 2k + 1. The new sum is k² + 2k + 1 = (k + 1)².
Keep the calculation or explanation tied to the task.
4Complete the logic
The base case and the implication from k to k + 1 establish the result for all positive integers. Do not assume the k + 1 result as part of the hypothesis.
Try another example without looking at this explanation.
