What is the Math Internal Assessment Program?
The IB Mathematics Exploration is worth 20% of your final Math grade, marked against five criteria. Across four Saturday mornings at the start of DP2, we help you get it well underway. The mathematics stays entirely your own.
How it works
Every Saturday is built around three things: examiner feedback, focused workshops, and 1:1 time with a Math specialist matched to your course and level.
We start before your first Saturday
We review whatever you've started and send a written diagnostic, so day one gets straight to work.
The five IB criteria, with an examiner
An examiner walks you through all five criteria and how the 20 marks are awarded, then you shape your topic and aim.
Workshops + 1:1 time
Each part of the Exploration gets its own workshop, then dedicated 1:1 time with your Math specialist.
AI use, taught the IB way
Exactly what AI is and isn't allowed to do in your Exploration, in line with IB integrity rules.
Examiner-marked drafts + a score
Every draft is marked criterion by criterion, so you always know your predicted score out of 20 and what to fix next.
Support continues into DP2
One more examiner round on your revised draft later in DP2, well before your real submission.
