Make the IB Math Internal Assessment less intimidating and more inspiring!
This comprehensive resource is designed specifically for IB Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation (AI) and Analysis and Approaches (AA) at both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL). It’s the perfect way to introduce your students to the Internal Assessment (IA) process with clarity, confidence, and structure.
Whether your students are overwhelmed, unsure where to begin, or confused about how they’ll be graded, this resource breaks down the IA into manageable steps and helps them get started with purpose.
In fact, I used this in my own IB classroom for both Math AI and AA, and every student had at least one idea of what they wanted to do each year I used it.
What’s Included:
- Student-friendly presentation explaining the purpose of the IA in both AI and AA
- Clear breakdown of each IA criterion (A–E)
- Detailed explanations with examples of high-scoring and low-scoring work for each criterion
- Exploratory student activity: Students brainstorm IA topic ideas using a mind map
- Optional research assignment: Students read and evaluate two sample IAs based on the rubric
- Encourages early engagement and builds student confidence in planning and understanding expectations
Why Teachers Love It:
- Saves hours of planning — everything is ready to go
- Builds student ownership and understanding of the IA process
- Perfect for both Math AI and Math AA, at SL and HL
- Helps students critically evaluate real IAs to understand what works — and what doesn't
Whether you're launching the IA process for the first time or looking for a more structured way to guide your students, this resource will set the tone for a successful IA journey.
