Sope Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'm gonna do my IA on the Fibonacci sequence in nature (or more specifically plant life) so can someone help me with the personal engagement part because I literally am the most uninterested person in Math ever but I have parents to not disappoint Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lixter Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Perhaps you could just say that you are a nature enthusiast and always found it to be interesting. Something along these lines, I guess? Hope this helps! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this- I already managed to get help from a friend, who told me the same thing Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Personal engagement is more about what you did that makes your IA different from another one of a similar topic. Unlike group 4 personal engagement, math p.e. worth more (4 out of 20) and you should think more carefully (it's not anything that one sentence would be enough). Basically going a page about how you are a nature enthusiast gets you about 1 out of 4 because it has nothing to do with the math. Generally, you could note down what you find curious about this sequence in relation of other math topics (for example how it compares and contrasts with arithmetic and geometric sequences). Basically anything original count as personal engagement. I am not sure how exactly you are approaching this but just make sure you talk about math at the SL level and not be too qualitative.

Thanks, I'll be sure to take that into consideration when doing my actual IA Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
