⎕ Does the entire paper focus on the aim and avoiding irrelevance? Don’t go off on a tangent.
⎕ Did you include graphs, tables and diagrams at appropriate places and not attach them all at the end?
⎕ Have you had someone (not a student in Math SL) edit your paper?
⎕ Did you cite all references in your bibliography and acknowledge direct quotes appropriately?
(APA citations & APA footnotes)
⎕ Did you use appropriate mathematical language and representation? (No computer notation *, ^, etc)
⎕ Did you think about the degree of accuracy? (For your topic, how many decimal places are relevant?)
⎕ Did you end with a conclusion and relate it back to your aim and rationale?
⎕ Do you have 12 to 20 pages with double line spacing, including diagrams and graphs, but excluding the
bibliography?
⎕ Did you consider the historical and global perspectives of your topic?
⎕ Did you discuss the implications of your results? (What do they mean? Why are they important?...)
⎕ Did you look for possible limitations and/or extensions of your topic?
⎕ Did you make links between your topic and different fields and/or areas of mathematics?
Personal Engagement
⎕ Did you ask and answer personal questions (“I wonder if…, What if…”)?
⎕ Did you address why you think your topic is interesting or why it appealed to you?
⎕ Did you present mathematical ideas in your own way (as opposed to copy someone else’ theory)?
Use of Mathematics
⎕ Level of math used consistent with level of SL Math course?
⎕ Did you explore unfamiliar math, or apply familiar math to a new situation?
⎕ Did you create mathematical models for real-world situations, if this applied to your topic?
⎕ Did you look for and explain patterns, if this applied to your topic?
