How to find a math IA topic step by step. | IB Math

In this video we're going to talk about how to find a math IA topic. The Internal Assessment for IB Math is often one of the hardest things you'll have to do because you've never written an essay in a math class before.

I'll talk to you about how to generate a great idea to boost and maximize your personal engagement by walking you through a brainstorming process I do with my students in the classroom. I'll also give you four bonus questions that you can ask yourself to help further clarify your Math IA Topic.

Thank you to one of the great teachers I've had the opportunity to teach with, Veronica B because the IA idea generation process that we talk about here is based off a process she used to do with her SL Math Studies course before IB changed to the Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation curriculum.

This process should work for either SL AA or SL AI and even has a lot of potential to help my Higher Level IB Math friends out there.

It's not an easy process to get a good idea. There are no shortcuts in life. But if this was helpful, let me know in the comments below.
