strugglingIB Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have to do my IA over the summer, and I have approximately a little less than a month to finish it. I have no clue what to do it on, any help? I know I have to choose something I'm interested in, but I don't know how to connect math to the few things I like. ex. reading, television, video games, food, death, candy, science. I really don't know what to do and would greatly appreciate any help/advice. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 You don't have to choose something you are interested in, and in fact it's better to write about math you are most comfortable with. (Also one of the things you listed is unlike the others). I suggest that you just try to think of as many ideas as possible, 30 is a good number. Think about anything related to numbers, probability, statistics, graphs, geometry ... write them down, even if they may seem terrible. Then look over the list, see if anything you can improve upon and eliminate all the ones you don't know anything about. Basically if you know what you are talking about you should be able to score at least 12-13/20 with revision. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of researching the connection between CO2 levels with the rise in population throughout the years and then connect that to life expectancy levels and how the CO2 affects it. Would this be a good idea? If so, could you help me out with some ways to show the correlation between them? Like certain types of graphs or something.

kw0573 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I mean you should work out the specifics with your teacher. I would like to warn you that many stats IAs get unnecessarily complicated or convoluted that the communication becomes poor. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, that doesn't sound too good but I still don't have any other ideas, so I think I'm going to stick with this one and hope it works out. I'll try to keep it as complicated as it should be. Can you give me some ideas or anything to do this thing? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 You can search this forum for more ideas. It's better to do an easy topic really good than a difficult topic poorly. Do whichever topic you think you are realistically handle and not too time consuming. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
