Math Internal Assessment: It is a piece of written work graded out of 20 marks and contributes to 20% of your total grade. The Maths IA forms 20% of your overall grade for Maths Studies, SL, and HL. Here we look at the assessment structure, choosing a topic, layout your assignment, and what to include.

Assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning. The most crucial aim of assessment in the DP is to support curricular goals and encourage appropriate student learning. Both external and internal assessments are used in the DP. IB examiners mark work produced for external assessment, while work produced for internal assessment is marked by teachers and externally moderated by the IB. There are two types of assessment identified by the IB. Formative assessment informs both teaching and learning. It is concerned with providing accurate and helpful feedback to students and teachers on the kind of learning taking place and the nature of students’ strengths and weaknesses to help develop students’ understanding and capabilities. Formative assessment can also help to improve teaching quality, as it can provide information to monitor progress towards meeting the course aims and objectives. The summative assessment gives an overview of previous learning and is concerned with measuring student achievement.
