Mathematics

this guide has got some information about Mathematics IA. the criteria are included with details. I have got some tips about the portfolio itself and there is a list of calculator and graphing software suggestions.

If you get the infinite summation portfolio, chances are that you might be spending a good handful of minutes adding up your terms on your calculator and showing the calculations. However, there is a function to automatically sum up the list of terms with a respective sequence. NOTE: You must have TI-software, your TI calculator and your link cable in order to get screenshots.
TI-Calculator required.
First of all you can you the sum and sequence function to calculate your finite sum of terms.
sum(seq(expression,variable,beginning term (usually 0),ending term[,increment]))
There is also a method of producing a summation graph instead of a function graph, which will be shown in the images I've attached. First you must set your calculator to sequential mode. Then on the "y=" button, you will get something completely different. Insert your summation function on u(n), and just copy the rest as it serves as the expression needed for the function to sum. In the summation graph, the term function is also shown so you might want to use editing software to rid the points. Also, from the charts, u(n) is the term value while v(n) is the sum value.
Some functions are ones that I am not wholly familiar with. I was searching how to do this online, and got most of my information came from this site: http://www2.stetson.edu/~mhale/teach/ti84.htm
If there are any questions, don't hesistate to contact me.

Helpful if you want to know your TI calculate inside out. Often shows alternate methods for solving things, i.e. graphical and non-graphical method. Also contains a chapter on programming.

Tips on how to effectively write you math IA! Includes examples of SL and Studies Internal Assessments

Notes on differentiation in Calculus.

Questions on differentiation + answers..
Can be solved by SL and HL students.

MUST ANSWER QUESTIONS!
tutorials with answers.

Notes on IB Trig. Hope it helps!

For people struggling to understand the implicit differentiation method or the integration using substitution or parts, this should prove really useful

a simple guide to understand the basics:
the unit circle

last minute revision notes for Hl/Sl students. Brief notes, formulaes and equations.

Date completed: 19th August 2014
IB Score: 18/20 (marked by the IB on November 2014)
In this exploration, I created various models using polar equations, which I converted into parametric equation, in order to model a contact lens pattern. I used rose curves and ovals.

IB Math SL Internal Assessment Rubric

A presentation sent to us by our teacher - basics of using a Graphic Display Calculator (mainly, TI-83+/TI-84+/TI-84+ SE). In a form of slides, gives you all the basic things you should know about GDC before starting IBDP.

An official guide from the IBO dissecting each criterion and additional guidance for the Math SL IA, marked 2014 onwards.

IA Project Checklist

A concise overview of the Functions sections in the Math HL syllabus. This document is made to aid in review and exam preparation. Feel free to contact me if you find any errors or have any suggestions.

IB Math SL Portfolio 2012 - 2013 tasks

A concise overview of the Algebra sections in the Math HL syllabus. This document is made to aid in review and exam preparation. Feel free to contact me if you find any errors or have any suggestions.

Here are two Mathematics HL worksheets from my school, they are based on the following concepts:
i)Binomial Theorem
ii)Logs

Basic linear equations recap and a few practise questions.
Made for the beginning of the Maths SL course. (Chapter 1)

this is a presentation on the binomial expansion and explains the concept very well.

Theory and exercises for background knowledge of Maths SL. Useful, if you want to prepare for Maths SL before starting DP.
Content:
A Surds and radicals
B Scientific notation
C Number systems and set notation
