annamoshammer Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi I just started to plan my Maths Exploration and realized, that I have no guide or whatever to help me write it. For example, there is an Extended Essay Guide telling you what exactly you have to include (e.g. abstract), in what sequence, etc. Does anyone know if such a guide exists for Maths? Or is there any other way to get to such information? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there any other way to get to such information?hey, for the structure you could check out sample IAs.. even though there are mainly portfolios with other stuff and not explorations. it could still give you an idea.. if you get some great info on this also let me know please.. because even i just started..what's your topic ? out of all the subjects i'm finding this the most difficult 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
annamoshammer Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I also tried that but somehow it doesn't help that much. But if I find something I'll let you know, of course.I'm comparing the flood hydrograph of the floods that hit my country in 2013 and 2002 and things - it's complicated. It also took me sooo long to find a topic, I just hate that thing!! What's yours about? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowSpider Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 okay, thanks.. doesn't your supervisor help you with this stuff ? i'm creating my own casino game and then i'll make a question related to that.. some intense stuff! its all probability.. whoa! i don't even know what a hydrograph is why don't you work on something simpler, or you picked this because you're good at it ?

Natalia_12 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I am in the same situation as you guys!My supervisor has no clue about it, he gave us a sample of a project but it was not even correct, the content was not structured. I agree with Mishi the exploration is very similar to a portfolio Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Although this was created with the old portfolio style in mind, try reading through this http://www.ibsurvival.com/topic/17114-mathematics-portfolio-tips-and-queries/. It's still very relevant, the only difference is instead of answering and exploring an already-thought out question or topic, you come up with your own. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
annamoshammer Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 thank you guys !okay, thanks.. doesn't your supervisor help you with this stuff ? i'm creating my own casino game and then i'll make a question related to that.. some intense stuff! its all probability.. whoa! i don't even know what a hydrograph is why don't you work on something simpler, or you picked this because you're good at it ?sounds interesting I have to say !well, it's not too difficult, it's just calculating things about the height of the flood waters and so on Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
