Free revision cheatsheets for every IB Mathematics: Applications & Interpretation SL topic. AI SL is a modelling course with a graphical calculator allowed on both Papers 1 and 2 — no Paper 3. Each cheatsheet below opens the shared page where the SL sections are tagged, with formulas, the exact GDC steps, worked examples and exam-attack plans.
Every topic below opens its dedicated cheatsheet, where the SL sections are clearly tagged. Formulas, worked examples, common traps and a per-section exam-attack plan — all free, with a downloadable PDF.
Arithmetic & geometric sequences and series, sum to infinity, sigma notation, and growth problems on the GDC.
FreeIndex laws, fractional & negative indices, exponential equations, logarithms, change of base and log scales.
FreeCompound interest, depreciation, annuities, loan repayments and amortisation with the GDC finance solver.
FreeRounding, significant figures, standard form, percentage error, and upper & lower bounds.
SOHCAHTOA, the sine & cosine rules, area, sectors, bearings and 3-D trigonometry.
FreeAmplitude, period and phase of sinusoidal models — tides, Ferris wheels — and solving in a range.
FreePerpendicular bisectors, nearest-site regions, Voronoi vertices and the toxic-waste-dump problem.
Central tendency & spread from the GDC, grouped data, outlier fences, box plots and ogives.
FreeScatter diagrams, correlation r, R², the least-squares regression line and prediction.
FreeSample spaces, complements, unions, independence, two-way tables, tree diagrams and Bayes.
FreeExpected value, the binomial and normal distributions, inverse normal and Poisson.
Freeχ² tests, expected frequencies, degrees of freedom, t-tests and the decision rule.
The power rule, tangents & normals, stationary points and applied optimisation on the GDC.
FreeReverse power rule, definite integrals, area under a curve, the trapezoidal rule and kinematics.
FreeDisplacement, velocity & acceleration by calculus, at-rest points and projectile motion.
AI SL is the modelling-and-technology maths course, examined on Papers 1 and 2 only (a GDC is allowed on both) with no Paper 3. Compared with AI HL, SL drops the AHL topics entirely — matrices, eigenvalues and Markov chains, complex numbers, vectors, graph theory, affine transformations, confidence intervals and differential equations. The seventeen cheatsheets below are the SL-relevant pages; each section is tagged SL or AHL so you focus on the SL content. Prefer the full higher-level set? Browse the AI HL cheatsheet hub.
The pages above are free forever. When you're ready to drill to a 7, these are the same resources Photon Academy students use — one-time purchases, no subscription.
Every topic's full Notes PDF, an IB-style Tutorial booklet, mark-scheme Tutorial Solutions with M1/A1 annotations, and the predicted question types for the next session. Lifetime access.
Unlock the LibraryFull predicted exam sets with mark schemes, matched to the current SL syllabus and recent examiner trends. Start with two free sets, then unlock the rest.
See Predicted PapersThe Studio drills each SL topic to mastery with adaptive question ladders; the Diagnostic marks your handwritten working and pinpoints exactly what to fix.
Try Photon LearnA few questions IB students and parents in Singapore often ask about the IB Math AI SL course and these resources.
The cheatsheets above are free for everyone. Photon Academy students unlock the full library for each topic — the printable PDF, a Notes booklet, the IB-style Tutorial booklet, mark-scheme-style Tutorial Solutions, and predicted-paper questions. Enrolled students get free access; others can buy the Lifetime Library.
