IB Math SL Summer Assignment 2019-2020

The IB Math SL curriculum covers six different mathematical topics (algebra, functions,
trigonometry, vectors, statistics, and calculus). Three of these six topics were thoroughly
covered in your Pre-Calculus class (algebra, functions, and trigonometry). In an effort to best
prepare you for the IB paper exams at the end of the year, three topics need to be reviewed
during the summer. This will leave the class with more time during the school year to focus
on statistics and calculus.

The summer assignment will be broken up into three sections in which I have written a
suggested timeline in which they should be completed:

 Topic 1: Algebra- finish by June 22nd

 Topic 2: Functions- finish by July 13th
 Topic 3: Trigonometry- finish by July 31st

Every topic should be turned in by the first day of class. Please complete all work in sequential
order on separate paper and write your final answers on the actual assignment.

The summer assignment will be worth a quiz grade and there will be a test over this material
within the first three weeks of the school year.

To assist you in each topic, here are links to video tutorials:

I also suggest using notes from your previous Pre-Calculus course along with the attached
formula booklet for reference. This formula booklet is what you will be allowed to use on
the paper exam.

If you have any questions, you can email me at [email protected] and I will return
your email as soon as I can.
Have a wonderful summer! I look forward to seeing you next year!
