Extended Essay in Mathematics

Another major part of the IB Diploma is the Extended Essay. Learners taking AA HL are the best candidates for a mathematics extended essay.

In 2021-23, our department celebrated the successful completion of the first ever extended essay in mathematics at Nexus. Currently, we have 4 learners completing a mathematics extended essay. 

As with other subjects, there are mandatory meetings with supervisors and deadlines for the whole year group; however, just like the internal assessment, we hope that learners will regularly liaise with their supervisor throughout the process - to give updates, discuss ideas and work with their supervisor to produce their best work.

Some IB documentation and materials can be found below.

Any learner considering a mathematics extended essay should approach their mathematics teacher to share and discuss ideas and have any questions answered.
