What’s Currently Available

The Getting Started module is now live!
It helps you begin your IA the right way. It includes instructional videos, flashcards, written guides, structured workshops, checklists, and practical examples, all organized into four key sections:
  • A clear overview of what the Mathematics IA actually requires.

  • A detailed breakdown of the official assessment criteria.
  • A comprehensive IA Support Hub covering academic honesty, responsible AI usage, and effective use of mathematical technology.

How This Helps You

Instead of guessing what examiners want, you will:
  • Learn how to select an idea that is both interesting and realistic
  • Understand how marks are awarded
  • Avoid common IA mistakes early
  • Build a clear, structured plan before you start writing

Coming Soon

The Mathematics IA Resources will soon expand into a complete end-to-end IA suite with four additional modules:
Statistical Methods
Learn how to work confidently with larger data sets, apply appropriate statistical tests, and interpret your results meaningfully.
 
Modelling Methods
Step-by-step guidance on building, refining, and evaluating mathematical models using technology and creative approaches.
Exemplars
A curated library of graded, fully annotated IAs showing exactly what separates mid-band work from top-band performance.
 
The Express IA
How to complete an entire IA in under 4 hours!
