Math AI IA: what examiners look for (20 marks)
Math AI students are expected to apply mathematics to real-world contexts. Examiners look for meaningful data collection, statistical modelling, and genuine mathematical analysis of a real-world phenomenon.
- Presentation (4 marks): A clear aim, logical structure, and organised exploration. For AI, this includes a clear explanation of your real-world context and why it is mathematically interesting.
- Mathematical communication (4 marks): Correct and consistent use of statistical notation, labelled graphs, regression models, and mathematical vocabulary appropriate to your investigation, with key terms defined.
- Personal engagement (3 marks): Evidence of genuine curiosity about the real-world data or problem — original data collection, unexpected findings you pursued, or creative modelling choices.
- Reflection (3 marks): Critical evaluation of your model's fit, limitations of your data, and what a more sophisticated approach would look like.
- Use of mathematics (6 marks): Relevant mathematics commensurate with the course, used correctly; this criterion has separate SL and HL descriptor ladders. For AI, examiners expect regression analysis, statistical hypothesis testing, differential equations in context, or similar applied techniques appropriate to your level.
Frequently asked questions
- What topics work well for a Math AI IA?
- Strong Math AI IA topics involve real data you collect or curate, a genuine mathematical question, and applied techniques from your syllabus. Examples: modelling COVID-19 case growth, analysing sports statistics with regression, or using differential equations to model a physical system.
- Is the Math AI IA grader free?
- Every essay gets a free preview (band range, weakest criterion, top risks). The full report is $4.99.
- What is the difference between Math AI and Math AA?
- Math AI focuses on applied and statistical mathematics in real-world contexts. Math AA focuses on pure mathematics including calculus, proof, and algebra. See our Math AA IA grader for AA-specific feedback.
