[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Transplant_1]What kind of paper is required for IB math? 3000-5000 words is more than an essay, that's a 14-ish page paper.[/quote] It’s on a topic of their choice, related to the course and can be research or an experiment where they analyze the data. I’m an IB math teacher and it’s one of the reasons my own children attend an AP school. It’s good to write long papers but I don’t like how they are required in every IB class. This would have turned me off to math as a kid. [/quote] Agree, having a paper for math is odd. What types of things do kids do that utilize precalculus or calculus? Would it be writing up physics experiments describing the motion of balls or pendulums? [/quote]
