IB HL Paper 3 practice task (AA & AI versions)

Created by

Mathematical Explorers

This task involves optimising the shape of a prism to make the surface area as small as possible. It involves the writing of expressions from diagrams, calculus, limits and L'Hopital's Rule, modified to also be suitable for Applications and Interpretations (without L'Hopital's Rule). It is an excellent resource for both HL classes and will challenge your students to do complicated problem solving.

Teaching style

I strive for a fun and engaging set of mathematical activities that allow students to be given rigorous examples of how to reason, and are led step by step to reason in these ways themselves. Many project and discovery based activities assume students have these skills already, which in my opinion is a mistake - these are high end skills that must be learned through use. I use no AI whatsoever to create my lessons and projects as I believe it generates less high quality products than what I can produce myself.

My own education history

I hold a PhD in Computational Number Theory from the University of Cambridge. I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Pure Mathematics from the University of Groningen.
