This is a mathematical investigation project where you pick a maths topic you're interested in, plan how you'll research it, collect information and data from real sources, and present your findings with mathematical diagrams or explanations. You need to show your thinking throughout the process and reflect on how well your investigation worked.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Set up your investigation topic clearly — say what question you're answering and what maths it involves
- ·Plan your approach — decide where you'll get information from and how you'll gather it
- ·Link maths concepts or ideas directly to your topic — show which maths you're using and why it matters
- ·Collect and present real data using appropriate charts, tables, diagrams or descriptions that suit your topic
- ·Reflect on your process — look back at what worked, what was tricky, and whether your findings actually answered your question
You set up a clear investigation topic with maths connections, gather data from relevant sources, present it with appropriate diagrams, and show your working throughout.
You not only do the above, but also think about how different parts of your investigation link together (relational thinking), explain your maths choices clearly, and reflect meaningfully on your method and findings.
