This book contains seven excellent Internal Assessments (IA) for the IB Math AI course. Our goal is to help you understand how success is achieved in the IA so that you can go on to obtain a similar result.
Alongside these IAs is a clear and comprehensive guide on how to write yours, including everything from how to choose an interesting topic to how to integrate the IA with your studies and the syllabus. The guide also includes links to various online resources which may help you achieve the maximum mark.
Sections include:
- Structure: how to plan your Math AI exploration the ideal way
- Ideas: an exhaustive list of excellent sources and websites
- Assessment: maximizing your marks with one eye on the grading criterion
- Technology: what tools can be used to improve your IA
Our guide makes frequent reference to the grading matrix and the format that your IA should follow, as well as highlighting details which you must bear in mind when carrying out your investigation.
MUDASSIR MEHMOOD is an IBDP Math Examiner, an IA Moderator, and has recently become a member of one of the IB projects as a DP Mathematics Curriculum Reviewer. He has overall 12+ years of experience in teaching various streams, ranging from IBDP/MYP, IGCSE, O/A levels, Edexcel, and SAT. He has developed 8000+ math video tutorials in his local language covering grade 6 math to IGCSE and A levels which have received more than a million minutes of views by students in Pakistan and across the globe. He also has thousands of hours of teaching experience with IBDP/MYP and SAT students across the globe, receiving excellent student and parents' feedback.I have been teaching IB Math for over a decade and during tutoring, my only aim has been to debunk the myth that IB Math is hard. In my opinion, the biggest challenge that an IB Math student encounters is a reflection of what they are thinking.
