Math SL Year 2 August 24 th

Introduction to IA • Internal assessment is weighted as 20% of the IB Mark for the course • The IA is an exploration of mathematics in an area or topic of your choosing • There is no required topics, Choose a topic or an area that you find interesting (Sports, Weather, Science, Psychology etc. )

Choosing your topic

What do I need to include?

Rubric • • • Criterion A: Communication Criterion B: Mathematical Presentation Criterion C: Personal Engagement Criterion D: Reflection Criterion E: Use of Mathematics

Criterion A: Communication Organization, coherence conciseness and completeness of exploration . • Should have • Introduction: Discuss the context of your exploration • Rationale: Explain why you chose your topic • Description of the aim of the exploration and should be clearly identifiable • A conclusion

• Things to keep in mind: • graphs, models, illustrations… should be in flow of text • CITATIONS are extremely important and used appropriately (footnotes and bibliography) • should “read well”… and avoids irrelevancies

Criterion B: Mathematical Presentation Use of math language where required, use multiple forms of mathematical representation (formulae, diagrams, tables, charts, graphs etc) •

Criterion C: Personal Engagement Extent that you engage in the exploration • • Thinking creatively Addressing your personal interests Presenting math ideas your own way Asking questions, making conjectures, and investigating math ideas Looking for and creating math models for real world situations Considering historical and global perspectives Exploring unfamiliar mathematics

Criterion D: Reflection How well you review, analyze and evaluate the exploration • Can be found in your conclusion, but should be found throughout your paper • • Discuss implication of findings Consider significance Stating possible limitations or extensions Link to different fields or areas of math

Criterion E: Use of Mathematics How well you review, analyze and evaluate the exploration • Use math of your level…. . Using a majority of arithmetic may not be the best use of mathematics. • Fully understand math used.
