Exam Practice Workbook for Mathematics for the IB Diploma: Analysis and approaches SL 2nd edition (NYP Due July 2027)
Exam Practice Workbook for Mathematics for the IB Diploma: Analysis and Approaches SL, 2nd Edition is the updated practice workbook for IB Math AA SL, aligned to the IB’s 2027 subject guide for first exams in May 2029. It is written by Paul Fannon, Vesna Kadelburg and Stephen Ward, the authors of Hachette Learning’s Mathematics for the IB Diploma series.

Why AA SL Teachers Use This Workbook
AA SL rewards strong algebra and calculus skills and the ability to work both with and without a calculator. Those skills come from regular, focused practice. This workbook provides it, organized so every question links to a specific learning objective in the new IB guide. Set it after each lesson, use it to plan intervention, or give it to students for self-directed revision.

Matched to the New AA SL Course
The 2027 guide makes targeted cuts to AA SL. This 2nd edition reflects them, so practice time goes only on examinable content.
- No longer in AA SL: financial applications and bivariate data
- Nothing new added to the course
- Paper 1 and Paper 2: now 75 marks each (down from 80)
- Mathematical Exploration (IA): now marked on criteria shared with HL, which are problem specification, abstraction, computation and interpretation
Buying tip: The 1st edition AA SL workbook (2021) includes questions on financial applications and bivariate data, and its mock papers use the old mark totals. Classes starting in August 2027 should use this 2nd edition.
