What is a maths exploration project?

An essential part of the IB are the internal assessments, in this exploration students must put in practice what the have learned thought the IB courses adding their own thinking and creativity. Creativity is an essential part of the Maths internal assessment. First of all we MUST take into account how are we going to be evaluated. A maths internal is not only about doing the maths right; it also has to do with communication, critical thinking and showing your own approach to problem solving. These are the criteria by which you are going to be evaluated in the IB maths Standard internal.

As you may have noticed there is a great impact of the communication, personal engagement and reflection in the Maths internal final grade. Remember that this internal assessment is 20% of your final IB maths standard grade. The file that you will have to deliver to the teacher will be a word document so you should include in the word document all the importan information gathered in this project. That document must be well organised and concise and concrete to achieve a good mark. Also you must do a well use of the equation editor and include pictures of what you are doing. Also every step and every calculation must be relevant, well explained and justified.

So lets get it on !
