This individual framework pack gives you one
complete, focused topic framework for your
IB Math AA Internal Assessment.
THE FRAMEWORK: Spatial Problem Solving
This framework guides you through a geometric
investigation — using coordinate geometry,
distance, angle, or spatial relationships to
solve or optimize a real-world problem.
MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS:
✓ Coordinate geometry (lines, circles, distances)
✓ Geometric relationships and proofs
✓ Optimization of geometric quantities
✓ 2D and 3D spatial reasoning
✓ Vectors for geometric problems (HL)
SL APPROACH:
Focus on coordinate geometry and spatial
relationships. Investigate a clearly defined
geometric problem with measurable quantities.
HL APPROACH:
Extend to vector geometry, 3D problems, or
geometric proofs requiring greater rigour and
mathematical sophistication.
PERSONALIZATION OPTIONS:
â–¡ Architectural layout optimization
â–¡ Navigation or path planning
â–¡ Natural formations (coastlines, crystals)
â–¡ Sports field geometry
â–¡ Structural engineering (bridges, towers)
â–¡ Your own spatial problem
WHAT IS INCLUDED:
✓ Full framework description and aim guidance
✓ Criterion-by-criterion breakdown (A through E)
✓ SL and HL mathematical pathways
✓ Context and variable selection options
✓ Title template with examples
✓ 5-step action plan
✓ Teacher discussion questions
✓ Academic integrity guidelines
✓ Self-assessment checklist
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This framework is your starting point — not your
finished IA. Write everything in your own words.
