Tips & Strategies To Help You Make Math IA In IBDP


Do you have difficulty in math IA? Do you want to improve your grades in math IA and do not know how to start? Are you facing problems in grasping the concepts? Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get a better hold on your math IA.


1. Research question

The first step in developing your research question is to choose a topic that you find exciting and relevant. This will help you stay motivated throughout the project.

You should also ensure that your topic is broad enough to allow you to explore it entirely but narrow enough so that it can be tested relatively quickly.

Once you have chosen a topic, it's time to decide what specific aspect of it you want to investigate. This is known as a research question. A good research question must be:

Meaningful - What is its purpose? Why are we doing this study?

Researchable - Is there any way we can answer this question using available data? In other words, does the study involve collecting data from existing records, or would new information need to be collected? If so, how would we do this? If not, why not?

Tractable - Can this issue be solved within the scope of our study? Is there enough information available to answer our question at this time, or do we need more information first?


2. Get more data

Identify your problem and discuss how it is related to mathematics, why it is necessary, who would be interested in the solution, what previous attempts have been made to solve it (if any), and how you intend to solve it.

Use the internet or library to gather as much information about your topic as possible. This will help you better understand your problem and potentially discover an approach that others have not considered.

Research on the topic by reading literature, looking up sources online, talking with experts in the field, etc. The more information you can gather, the better equipped you will be to understand and solve the problem at hand.

Ask yourself: What are the steps needed to solve my problem? How can I break down this process into manageable and clearly defined steps? What tools do I need to complete each step? Are there any resources available that would make this process easier?


3. Explain what you are trying to solve or answer with your investigation.


4. Hypothesis

Present your hypothesis or the expected outcome of your investigation. This may be presented as a formal theory or as an informal idea that can be tested by investigating further.


5 Resources

Describe all resources needed for your investigation (for example, a calculator). They must be appropriately labeled for your bibliography (e.g., "TI-84 Plus C"). Use MLA format citation. Footnotes are a must.
