What is Currently Available?
The Getting Started module is now live!
It helps you begin your IA the right way. It includes instructional videos, flashcards, written guides, structured workshops, checklists, and practical examples, all organized into four key sections:
- A clear overview of the Mathematics IA and assessment expectations.
- Structured workshops and guided examples to help students generate and refine strong IA ideas.
- A detailed breakdown of the official assessment criteria.
- A comprehensive IA Support Hub providing up-to-date guidance on navigating academic honesty, responsible AI usage, and the effective use of mathematical software, ensuring you have the resources to lead your students to success.
How This Helps You
Instead of guessing what examiners want, you will:
- Learn how to select an idea that is both interesting and realistic
- Understand how marks are awarded
- Avoid common IA mistakes early
- Build a clear, structured plan before you start writing
Coming Soon
The Mathematics IA Resources will soon expand into a complete end-to-end IA suite with four additional modules:
- Statistical Methods: Learn how to work confidently with larger data sets, apply appropriate statistical tests, and interpret your results meaningfully.
- Modelling Methods: Step-by-step guidance on building, refining, and evaluating mathematical models using technology and creative approaches.
- Exemplars: A curated library of graded, fully annotated IAs showing exactly what separates mid-band work from top-band performance.
- The Express IA: How to complete an entire IA in under 4 hours!
