Likewise but ours is in Nov (for May exams cohort)

To enhance students' skills like research, self-management, etc. It's more important to me that it allows students can relate Maths to their daily lives or observations.

For students, the most important thing is to find a theme, which is the first step in all work

# data[].attributes.body
we also taught statistics a bit earlier.

Most of my students do not know how to link their ideas with the final conclusion ..They start with good research then they go to GENERAL conclusion.

IA sometimes make us rethink the way we organize the topics instead of (1-2-3-4-5), may be, (1-2-4-3-5).

# data[].attributes.body
Us too. Maths is always the first one.

Self-management and time-management(long term) are so important. My students transitioning from non-IB to IB would find it challenging working on long-term projects like IA and EE.

Deciding a topic has been challenging for some of my SL students. The depth of Math used in chosen topic of exploration is also to be thought of.

mostly January end

# data[].attributes.body
To improve their time management in IA, I had broken down the final deadline into several small ones in order to chase every one to meet the final one.

# data[].attributes.body
We have internal IA deadline for different subjects, Math is the subject with the earliest deadline, around January.

IA in Mathematics is perhaps one of the biggest challenges in the DP course for the students as they juggle a lot of new and previously acquired skills - research, time management, structure, use of formulae tab in Word, reflection, etc. It is important for us, teachers to closely monitor students' progress as some will try to leave everything to the last minute - a recipe for disaster.

# data[].attributes.body
Agreed. I love explorations as it takes students on a journey to discover other areas of maths and see the universality, as well as a "social side", of maths.

Pre-final draft is in the first week of February and final draft is in the fist week of March

The exploration allows students think deeply about a problem. They aren't expected to solve the problem in a timed situation but are allowed to think slow and think deep.

this reminds me of the other day when an HL student was getting ready to do the Euclid competition, he said the questions were' just thinking' not like DP math... it's funny what school sometimes makes us think math is and isn't.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Word is also a good tool, because it is multi-functional and integrated, which can exercise students' technical skills, not just writing skills

# data[].attributes.body
IA is an opportunity to update the way we promote writing and develop mathematical procedures. Not only Latex (that is excellent), also students should undertake IA by using Python.

# data[].attributes.body
I use Mathcha.io. It’s easy to use.

# data[].attributes.body
Staying focused throughout the course is challenging with a few students specially with Math. IA helps them reflect on many things like mathematical skills, time management, decision making etc.

# data[].attributes.headline
The exploration is an opportunity to develop of all of the attributes of the Learner Profile. Students are able to use technology in ways that are more relevant to their goal and are demanded to communicate their mathematics in a way that their peers can understand, which is quite a challenge for them.

Totally agree, especially when students need to make a good balance between IA and other activites such as CAS, in the meanwhile, they also need to plan their time well as they need to complete other subject IAs. Hence, making a timeline is very important, following their timelines is also a challenge for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Using math as a tool to achieve an objective (about mathematics), instead of doing mathematics only, this is often a sort of insight students have more in HL.

# data[].attributes.body
Have you used other programs such that LaTex is the best overall?

# data[].attributes.body
I have each student keep all their work in a folder shared with me, but some are so reluctant to keep things that aren't so well developed in the folder for me to see, that I'm sure they're struggling with their time management and aren't on pace.

# data[].attributes.body
For many students deciding on a topic is also a process of self reflection. They go through the process of understanding what connects with them and what does not. I think this is a great step towards making choices and decision

# data[].attributes.body
Math writing is relatively rare. It gives students a chance to research math, write about math and reflect on math.

# data[].attributes.body
One nice surprise with my current cohort was how many of them took on learning LaTeX. I think it's a great skill to develop and writing their reports through LaTeX made them better with it than me.

# data[].attributes.body
Self-management is probably an area of steep learning curve for many students; pacing their time well to do their research, writeup and final revision without much teacher reminder is extremely challenging.
