First Post!

My name is Andrew. I go by AdventurousAndrew#7499 on Discord, a helper on IB server since August 2019, a mock exam writer and a lover of assessments and teaching. I'm currently studying chemical engineering and fun fact, the nickname Andrew came from my chemistry teacher. I just did a tiny adjustment: making alliterations.

Welcome to my brand new home, adventurousandrewmaths.blogspot.com!

I blog about mathematics education, useful mathematical resources (at least I hope they are useful anyway) and anything that comes to mind. I'm definitely not as organised as I'd like to be, so it doesn't take too long before my posts go all over the place. All of the materials/resources I post are completely free unless indicated otherwise. However, if you do find my stuff useful and want to share it elsewhere, make sure you cite your source (this website). That's all I can ask for.

As usual, to set the bar high, I'll start with two controversial things about myself:

  • My favourite topic in maths is trigonometry. I can hear people sighing from afar.
  • I absolutely love integration. So beautiful. Especially integration by substitution; you clear a big mess by using a great substitution to make a very intimidating integral more straightforward to solve.

If any of you are interested in education, I highly recommend checking out Adam Boxer's blog (https://achemicalorthodoxy.wordpress.com/, a chemistry lover, like myself), Craig Barton's podcasts and Mark McCourt's website (emaths.co.uk).

[Survival Guide] AASL Version

-
Hello hello hello! I am now back with a fancy project - the ultimate Survival Guide for AASL. If you're struggling and you want an all-in-one Survival Guide, this  is it! What's in the Revision Guide? Packed inside this booklet are a series of statements for you to check if you're prepared to get a solid 4 (or even a 5!) on the official exams. You'll also have questions on the right column to check if you know what you're doing. Answers not included. I know y'all don't have time to do all the stuff in hundreds of pages of the RG, and it's hard to find a revision checklist like this online, so I might as well make it available for everyone interested. c; Disclaimer I've tried my best to only include topics that usually pop up quite early on the exams, but do not sue me if the questions on the exam do not exactly match with my preds.  Compacting two years of content in a 15-page document means some content will be left out deliberately  (you don't

Collection of Resources: Algebruh

A collection of topic tests that I've ever written on the website. Unit Tests Occasionally featuring questions from endless inspirational sources. Answers included. Nombre complexes (AAHL seulement)  Complex number. The test is in English, don't worry. Contains some wonderful questions that might require the use of integration. Logarithms (AASL/AAHL)  Logarithmic, exponential and rational functions. Further transformations for AAHL students. Proofs, binomial and more (AASL/AAHL)  A list of miscellaneous topics that don't fit anywhere. Quadratics (AASL/AAHL)  Combined algebra and quadratics - an updated version will arrive soon. Quadratics (AISL/AIHL)  Slightly different from the former because of the emphasis of the courses. Sequences and series (all four courses)  Covering two types of series studied in depth in IB: arithmetic and geometric. Knowledge of logarithms was required if memory serves me. Version 2 Sequences and series (AASL/AAHL)  A more general approach to sequ
