Hi all! I'm about to start working on my Maths IA for the IB program, and I'm looking for some inspiration. Does anyone have any good Maths IA examples or know where to find some ideas? Would be a huge help, thanks!
Hey! Kudos for getting started on your Maths IA. Exploring different examples can definitely help you narrow down your options and gather inspiration. While I cannot directly share specific IA examples due to copyright rules, I can point you in the right direction for ideas.
1. Start by browsing past IAs shared on your school's library or digital archives. Some schools or teachers might have created a repository for previous students' work that you can use as reference (with their permission, of course).
2. For inspiration on topics, consider browsing the various IB Maths forums or Facebook groups. Sometimes, students or teachers discuss their IAs, the topics they chose, and the challenges they faced, which could provide you with some valuable insights.
3. Reflect on the areas you've studied in Maths that have genuinely piqued your interest or the real-world applications that have caught your attention. You can then narrow down potential IA topics based on those particular topics or concepts.
4. Think about practical applications of Math in your other subjects or your personal hobbies. For instance, if you are passionate about sports, you could consider delving into the statistical analysis of sports performances or examining a physics-related issue tied to your chosen sport.
Remember that a well-chosen IA topic will facilitate deeper understanding and showcase your analytical and problem-solving skills effectively. Make sure to discuss your ideas with your Maths teacher, as they can offer guidance about the feasibility of your topic and how to structure your IA.
Good luck with your Maths IA, and I hope you find an exciting and engaging topic to explore!
