IB Math formula booklets and sheets (free PDF)

One printable A4 page per course with every formula you need. Formulas marked ★ are not in the IB formula booklet, so those are the ones to learn. Download the PDF, or open the page to read it on your phone.

Quick answer: you get a clean copy of the IB formula booklet for your course and level (AA SL, AA HL, AI SL or AI HL) in every IB Maths exam paper, and your school can give you one to revise with: the IB publishes it only to schools on its Programme Resource Centre, with no public copy on ibo.org (we do not host it either). These free sheets have the same formulas plus the ★ results the booklet leaves out. Want the formulas by syllabus topic? See AA SL, AA HL, AI SL or AI HL.

Which IB Math formula booklet do you get?

There are four IB Math formula booklets: a separate SL booklet and HL booklet for Analysis & Approaches (AA), and the same for Applications & Interpretation (AI). Each HL booklet includes the SL formulas as well as the HL ones. All four are the editions for first assessment 2021, used up to the last exams on the current courses in November 2028.

AA Paper 1 is the only IB Maths paper without a calculator, so the formulas and exact values you must learn matter most there. Looking for the IB Maths data booklet? It is the same document: for maths the IB calls it the formula booklet ("data booklet" is the Chemistry and Physics name). Searching for the Math SL, Math HL or Math Studies booklet? Those were the courses before 2021: today you need one of the four booklets above.

Formula sheet questions

Where do I get the official IB formula booklet?

From your school: the IB publishes the formula booklet for schools, and you get a clean copy in every IB Mathematics exam. We do not host it. Our sheets are our own summaries and mark with ★ the formulas that are not in the booklet.

What is the difference between these sheets and the formula booklet?

The IB booklet lists the formulas you are given. Our one-page sheets include those plus the results you must know by heart (marked ★), such as the conditions for stationary points, so you can revise both from one page.

Can I take these sheets into the exam?

No. In the exam you may use only the clean copy of the IB formula booklet that is provided. Use these sheets to revise.

Is there a separate formula booklet for SL and HL?

Yes. AA and AI each have an SL booklet and an HL booklet, so there are four in all. The HL booklet includes the SL formulas as well as the HL ones.

Is the IB Maths data booklet the same as the formula booklet?

Yes. For maths the IB calls it the formula booklet; "data booklet" is the name of the IB Chemistry and Physics booklets, so many students use either name. It is the same document, one for each course: AA SL, AA HL, AI SL or AI HL.

Where is the IB Math SL, Math HL or Math Studies formula booklet?

Mathematics SL, Mathematics HL and Mathematical Studies SL were the IB's maths courses before the current ones. Since first assessment in 2021 the courses are analysis and approaches (AA) and applications and interpretation (AI), each at SL and HL, with the four booklets above. If you take "Math SL" now, you are on AA SL or AI SL: check with your teacher which one, and use that booklet. The old booklets do not match the current exams.

Do I need the SL sheet if I take HL?

No. Each HL sheet already includes the SL content, so HL students need only their HL sheet.

Are the downloads free?

Yes. Every PDF is free to download and print, with no sign-up.
