Mathematics Assessed Student Work
The International Baccalaureate Organization (known as the IB) offers four high-quality
and challenging educational programmes for a worldwide community of schools, aiming
to create a better, more peaceful world. This publication is one of a range of materials
produced to support these programmes.
The IB may use a variety of sources in its work and checks information to verify accuracy
and authenticity, particularly when using community-based knowledge sources such as
Wikipedia. The IB respects the principles of intellectual property and makes strenuous
efforts to identify and obtain permission before publication from rights holders of all
copyright material used. The IB is grateful for permissions received for material used
in this publication and will be pleased to correct any errors or omissions at the earliest
opportunity.

system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, without the IB’s prior written
permission, or as expressly permitted by the Rules for use of IB Intellectual Property.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop
challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong
learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common
humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.
As IB learners we strive to be:

Overview
The intention of this section is to demonstrate the overall marking standards that are required, as well as to
illustrate how the achievement levels for each criterion should be awarded. The assessment was
undertaken by experienced moderators, some of whom have been involved in the development of the new
internal assessment criteria.
The comments and marks provided for criteria A–E are those of these moderators. All the explorations have
been marked using both the standard level (SL) and higher level (HL) criteria. The requirements for criteria
A–D are identical for SL and HL; it is only criterion E (use of mathematics) that is different. It is essential that
teachers of both subjects and levels standardize their marking of the exploration before submitting their
marks.
Some of the explorations have separate comments for mathematics: analysis and approaches and for
mathematics: applications and interpretation. This is to illustrate how the marking may be affected based
on whether a student has met the mathematics used during their course or has chosen to use mathematics
not from their course. Generally, this may affect the mark given in criterion C (personal engagement).
Teachers may simply wish to see how an exploration was marked. Using the links, teachers can navigate to
the comments and to the annotated student work. The annotated work shows, for each criterion, where in
the exploration evidence can be seen for reaching a decision on awarding the mark for that criterion.
Alternatively, teachers may wish to mark the student work themselves. Using the links, the student work
can also be viewed in its original format. Teachers can then compare their own marking to that of the
moderator and go on to look at the annotated student work.
The comments should be read in conjunction with the explorations and the annotations on the
explorations.
The table below categorizes the explorations by the “best fit” for the topic of the exploration and shows the
marks given for SL (first number) and HL (second number). When a cell is split in two, the top part shows the
marks for mathematics: analysis and approaches (analysis) and the bottom part shows the marks for
mathematics: applications and interpretation (applications).
