We are working on our internal assessment - the Math Exploration.

Here are the slides about choosing a recommendation. Here are the stimulus problems if you choose to do Route 1 for choosing your topic.

Here is the IB rubric listing the criterion as well as a guide about what to include in your Exploration.

Here is a Google Spreadsheet where you should record your topic. Find your name (alphabetical by recitation) and fill in your topic or question:

• Everyone should use specific, formal language. For example, "How does a quarterback implicitly use vectors, trigonometry, and kinematics on the field?" is a much better question/topic than "Football and math".
• For Route 1, include which stimulus question you are doing, and also include the generalizations or extensions you will be looking at. For example, "#8 counting paths on a grid, and I will generalize to include n rows and m columns as well as look at what happens when there are holes in the grid"
• For Route 2, include a description of your topic or question and what specifically you are exploring. For example, "How do exponential and logarithmic functions play a role in radioactive decay and how do the instantaneous rates of decay compare across elements?"
