Dear IB Math Studies SL Year 2 Students,

We have covered chapter 1 (number and algebra 1), chapter 2 (descriptive statistics), chapter 5

(statistical applications), chapter 7 (number and algebra 2) and chapter 9 (logic) during your first year in

IB Math Studies SL. To be ready for the first day in your second year in math studies, certain concepts

taught on your first year need to be reviewed. Remember that the finals exam especially the IB exams

(paper 1 and 2) will cover all topics from chapters 1 through 10. To prepare you, the attached worksheet

needs to be completed over the summer. It is to be turned in on the first day of class and will count as

your first quiz grade. You need to solve them completely – showing your steps along the way. If just

an answer is given without any work to accompany it, it will not receive credit. Any graphing needs to be

done on actual graph paper (with a ruler – no freehand graphs!) Graphs not done on graph paper will

receive no credit. Do NOT put multiple problems in the same graph unless told to do so. Late work loses

10% per school day it is late.

Please do not hesitate to e-mail me at amallari@calvertonschool.org, if you have questions or concerns.

However, please know that I will have professional development workshop for the months of June to July

so I will not be able to quickly respond but you will definitely receive a reply between 24-48 hours. Have

a great summer and good luck!

Thanks,

Mr. Mallari
