Our goal at Renaissance is to provide a rigorous academic program for our students. As an IB student or CWI student, the breadth and depth of mathematics material is part of that rigor. In order to be successful on the IB SL exam/final for m160 in May of 2016, you must be able to complete mathematics problems on a topics that have been covered over a three year period. To aid in your success, you will need to complete the following items over the summer.
□ Syllabus Review (June 4th – July 1st) ◦ Read through the topics that will be on the IB SL Exam ◦ Identify what topics and subtopics have been covered in your notes from SL Year 1
◦ Using an identification technique of your choosing, identify the syllabus topics in your notes. Be sure they are easy to access.
Example: If you are asked to find an example of binomial theorem, you should be able to flip to that section of your notes and find that information within 30 seconds.
□ IA Rubric Overview and paper review (July 1st – August 1st) ◦ Read through the IA Guide and Rubric ◦ Create a list of math topics that you find interesting ▪ This may take some research on your part ▪ 15 things minimum on your list ▪ Try going to the library or researching books on interesting math topics
□ Review Packet for Mrs. Christensen (August 1st – August 25th) ◦ Complete the problems given to you in a packet of problems. Please do not work on these until August.
◦ Show your work! ◦ Take it seriously! ◦ You will be turning this in for a completion grade the first day of school.
Our goal at Renaissance is to help you successfully complete the IB SL Math program and be successful on the IB math test, to also include the CWI m160 exam. More importantly, our goal is to help you improve your math skills so you have a successful future in whatever career you choose. Good luck and we will see you next year! Sincerely, Mrs. Christensen

Introduction To IA’s
The internally assessed component in this course is a mathematical exploration. This is a short report written by the student based on a topic chosen by him or her, and it should focus on the mathematics of that particular area. The emphasis is on mathematical communication (including formulae, diagrams, graphs and so on), with accompanying commentary, good mathematical writing and thoughtful reflection. A student should develop his or her own focus, with the teacher providing feedback via, for example, discussion and interview. This will allow the students to develop area(s) of interest to them without a time constraint as in an examination, and allow all students to experience a feeling of success.
The final report should be approximately 6 to 12 pages long. It can be either word processed or handwritten. Students should be able to explain all stages of their work in such a way that demonstrates clear understanding. While there is no requirement that students present their work in class, it should be written in such a way that their peers would be able to follow it fairly easily. The report should include a detailed bibliography, and sources need to be referenced in line with the IB academic honesty policy. Direct quotes must be acknowledged.
The purpose of the exploration
The aims of the mathematics SL course are carried through into the objectives that are formally assessed as part of the course, through either written examination papers, or the exploration, or both. In addition to testing the objectives of the course, the exploration is intended to provide students with opportunities to increase their understanding of mathematical concepts and processes, and to develop a wider appreciation of mathematics. These are noted in the aims of the course, in particular, aims 6–9 (applications, technology, moral, social and ethical implications, and the international dimension). It is intended that, by doing the exploration, students benefit from the mathematical activities undertaken and find them both stimulating and rewarding. It will enable students to acquire the attributes of the IB learner profile.
The specific purposes of the exploration are to:
develop students’ personal insight into the nature of mathematics and to develop their ability to ask their own questions about mathematics
provide opportunities for students to complete a piece of mathematical work over an extended period of time enable students to experience the satisfaction of applying mathematical processes independently provide students with the opportunity to experience for themselves the beauty, power and usefulness of
mathematics encourage students, where appropriate, to discover, use and appreciate the power of technology as a
mathematical tool enable students to develop the qualities of patience and persistence, and to reflect on the significance of their
work provide opportunities for students to show, with confidence, how they have developed mathematically.
