deissi Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 So, could you tell us what you need helping with? We can't exactly give you a readily solved IA here... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magalidarga Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 So, could you tell us what you need helping with? We can't exactly give you a readily solved IA here...I need a subject. I do not know they type of exercise I can do. As you can see I am very lost in the world of math. he he If you can give me ideas of what type of exercises or subject idea, it would be great!!thank youu Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scade Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Weird, at least we were given our exact IA assignment, and had no need to create one on our own. I lived under the impression that IBO provides you the IA questions in math. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scade Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Type I, investigating divisibilty. We had a polynomial P(n)=n^x - n, then we had to investigate whether it's divisible or not for several values and then prove it. Then we had to do some stuff with Pascal's triangle, and investigate its relation to the mentioned polynomial. It was Math HL btw. What level are you? At least if you are HL (I don't know if sl contains this) you could do something with trigonometric equations. I still think that you're teacher is unfair. Math IA's are hard enough without having to make up a topic. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im in math studies by the way. The lovely Math francais teacher does not help us a single bit!! the average of our class is a 2 our of 7 and the highest mark is 3/7 its patatic! I'm so stressed out. My IA is due in 2 weeks and i don't even have a subject. where are you from? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deissi Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Scade, since magalidarga is math studies, she has to plan her own IA. Scade and I are both from Finland and our school doesn't offer Math Studies, so we tend to be quite unknowing when it comes to Math Studies but I recommend you try to still be a bit more elaborate here about what you could do as your IA - no-one simply has the time to come up with a topic for you, as brutal as it sounds. Oh, and there's certainly something wrong with your teacher if your class gets 2s in math studies - it should easily be passable for all candidates!

benthis1no Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 im doing my Math IA about "Bushwalking with Kim".....anyone have any idea how to do this IA ?????what is the format of this IA huh ??? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezex Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I agree with deissi, you're supposed to be given your IA, it's not like the EE were you pick your topic. This is supposed to be an investigation on a given topic and they grade you on how good you examine your case, not how good you are in coming up with a smart topic. If you do, however, find a topic and need our help just post again and I'll see to it since I love doing math IA's Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruan Chun Xian Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Ok I think the first thing we need to figure out is what level maths everyone is magalidarga: Go to this thread: http://www.ibsurvival.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=364 and http://www.ibsurvival.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=58.

IBStuck Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 wow! our teachers keep saying 10 days is the max that ib allows. I think i even read this in the IB math syllabus...not sure though.we always had two weeks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i even read this in the IB math syllabus...not sure though.Right you are:The finished piece of work should be submitted to the teacher for assessment 3–10 days after it has been set. Students should not be given the opportunity to resubmit a piece of work after it has been assessed. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abab Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 U need to make sure that whatever topic u pick, your data satisfies the level that IAs require. My teacher told me that my data was not sufficient enough, and that calculations need to be at higher level (meaning that some complicated calculations need to be used).

Ivan91 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 the ib specifies 3-10 days but they have no way to verify how long you were give.It depends on your teacher if you are lucky they might give you longer Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
