Plan your IB Maths IA

Three steps: an individual plan to agree with your teacher, a section-by-section framework for your type of exploration, and a timeline with your teacher checkpoints. Everything saves to your IA project (in this browser if you are not signed in). — Pete Bromfield, IB examiner

The coach asks questions; it never writes your plan or your IA. Sentence openings in the frameworks show the kind of move a section needs — finish them in your own words, about your own work.

1. Individual plan

Answer in a sentence or two each. Then export it and take it to your first teacher meeting.

Student: ______________________   Teacher: ______________________   Date: ____________

2. Section-by-section framework

Pick the type closest to your exploration. Use the notes boxes for your own bullet points; tick a section when your draft covers it.

3. Milestones and teacher checkpoints

Enter your school's internal deadline and we work backwards. Change any date to match your school's calendar. Your teacher gives feedback on one draft, so make that draft complete.
