IB Middle Years Programme Standard Mathematics (Standard) is organised here into 4 specification units covering 14 named subtopics, studied across Year 8–Year 11. The units are Number, Algebra, Geometry & Trigonometry and Statistics & Probability.
Each subtopic is tagged on the question bank, so you can practise one skill at a time, sit a full IB MYP past paper, or build a mixed worksheet from several units at once. Answers are checked against the IB Middle Years Programme mark scheme, awarding method, accuracy and final-answer marks separately so you can see exactly where marks were lost.
Algebra is the widest unit on this specification with 4 subtopics, so it is usually the highest-value place to start revision.
Geometry & Trigonometry
- Angles & shapes
- Pythagoras
- Trigonometry
- Transformations
Statistics & Probability
- Data handling
- Averages
- Probability
How to revise IB MYP Standard Mathematics
- 1
Diagnose with one mixed set
Start with a mixed set drawn from all 4 units to find where Standard Mathematics marks are actually being lost, rather than revising what already feels comfortable.
- 2
Drill unit by unit
Work through the subtopics in order, from Number to Statistics & Probability, doing short focused sets rather than long unfocused sessions.
- 3
Sit a full past paper under timing
Once two or three units are solid, sit a complete IB MYP Standard Mathematics paper to timing and mark it against the official mark scheme.
- 4
Re-practise only the dropped marks
Convert every dropped mark into a targeted set on that subtopic, then re-test it a week later to check the fix stuck.

Standard Mathematics — frequently asked questions
Everything students and parents ask about revising IB MYP Standard Mathematics.
The fastest route is past-paper-first revision: practise exam-style questions by topic, mark every answer against the real IB Middle Years Programme mark scheme, then drill the topics where you lose marks. On MathsGradeUp you can do all of this for Standard Mathematics in one place — topic practice, full past papers and instant examiner-grade feedback.
IB Middle Years Programme Standard Mathematics is mapped to the official specification and covers 4 units, including Number, Algebra, Geometry & Trigonometry, Statistics & Probability. Every unit is broken down into subtopics so you can target exactly what you need to revise.
Yes. You can open full IB MYP Standard Mathematics past papers, write directly on them with pen and maths tools, save your work, export a PDF, and submit for examiner-grade marking against the mark scheme.
Yes — our predicted papers for Standard Mathematics are assembled from the topics that recur most in IB Middle Years Programme exams and the topics you have practised least. They are a revision aid built from the specification, not leaked content.
Each answer is checked against the real IB Middle Years Programme mark scheme, awarding method, accuracy and final-answer marks the way a real examiner would. You see exactly where marks were earned or dropped, with feedback you can act on.
Standard Mathematics on the IB Middle Years Programme specification is aimed at Years 8–11. You can filter practice by year group and topic so the questions always match where you are in the course.
Yes. The Standard Mathematics content follows the current IB Middle Years Programme specification, including all units and subtopics, so what you practise reflects what you will actually be examined on.
Yes — Standard Mathematics practice, past papers and marking are free during our early launch period. Subscription plans may be introduced later, but launch users get full access now.
You do not just get an answer to copy. Standard Mathematics marking guides you with hints, worked steps and mark-scheme-based feedback so you understand the method and pick up the marks yourself next time. Questions are tagged calculator and non-calculator so you can practise exactly the way each paper is sat.
Yes. Parents and tutors can see completed Standard Mathematics practice, accuracy, weak topics and overall exam readiness, making it easy to support revision and focus on the right areas.
Short, regular sessions beat occasional long ones. Aim for a few focused Standard Mathematics sessions a week, always finishing by marking your work so each session ends with clear next steps. The progress dashboard shows what to revise next.
