THE IB MATH IA SUCCESS BUNDLE
There are two types of IB Math students.
The first type figures out what the examiner wants
somewhere around their second draft — after weeks
of writing in the wrong direction, after feedback
that says “more reflection” without explaining what
that means, after submitting work that was better
than they realized but not as organized as it
needed to be.
The second type knows what the examiner wants before
they write their first sentence. They have a plan.
They have a timeline. They understand every criterion.
They know how to write mathematical analysis that
earns marks on five criteria simultaneously. They
submit once, with confidence.
The Success Bundle is built for the second type
of student.
It contains every resource in our IB Math IA suite —
the plan, the checklist, the timeline, a second plan,
the writing guide, and the rubric breakdown. Everything,
in one purchase, at less than half the individual price.

WHAT’S IN THE SUCCESS BUNDLE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1 — GENERAL IA PLAN #1
Individual value: $8.49
Your first personalized IA plan. Built around the
IB assessment framework, it gives you a structured
starting point for your investigation — covering
how to approach your topic, which mathematical
methods suit your level, how to allocate your
effort across the five criteria, and what to
prioritize at every stage.
This is the resource that answers the question
every student has at the start: “Where do I
even begin?”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2 — IA CHECKLIST PDF (FULL 14-PAGE VERSION)
Individual value: $8.49
The complete stage-by-stage checklist for your
entire IA process. Not the free 6-page version
available at myibstudyguide.com — the full
14-page paid version that goes significantly
further.
ALL 6 STAGES IN FULL DETAIL
Stage 1 — Topic Selection and Approval
Stage 2 — Research and Planning
Stage 3 — Data Collection
Stage 4 — Writing Your IA
Stage 5 — Teacher Feedback and Revision
Stage 6 — Final Submission
SELF-SCORING RUBRIC
Estimate your own mark across all 5 criteria
before your teacher reads a single page. Identify
your weakest criterion and fix it before submission.
Students who use this rubric honestly catch problems
that would have cost them 2–3 marks.
EXAMINER TIPS FOR EVERY CRITERION
Specific, actionable insights for Criteria A, B,
C, D, and E — drawn from IB examiner report
patterns across multiple assessment years.
TEACHER SIGN-OFF COLUMNS
Built-in approval boxes at Stage 1 and Stage 6.
Students who involve their teacher at structured
checkpoints consistently score higher than those
who work in isolation.
ALL 10 MOST COMMON IA MISTAKES
Every mistake that appears in IB examiner reports
year after year — with a detailed How to Fix It
guide for each one.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
3 — IA TIMELINE TEMPLATE
Individual value: $8.49
Having a checklist tells you what to do. Having
a timeline tells you when to do it. Both together
is what keeps students on track across the 12–18
weeks a strong IA typically requires.
Phase-based, not date-based — because every school
assigns the IA at a different point in Year 1 or
Year 2. You fill in your own target dates. The
structure adapts to your calendar.
INSIDE THE TIMELINE TEMPLATE (11 pages):
→ Milestone tables for all 6 phases with
target date fields and completion checkboxes
→ 15 weekly planning grids — plan your work
day by day, track hours, record progress
→ Visual 6-stage progress tracker on every
phase page
→ Teacher sign-off boxes at Phase 1, Phase 5,
and Phase 6
→ Recommended hours guide per phase
→ 6 most common timeline mistakes with
How to Avoid It guidance
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
4 — GENERAL IA PLAN #2
Individual value: $8.49
A second personalized IA plan — and this one
matters more than students initially expect.
IB Math IA topics change. Teachers redirect
students. Data sources dry up. Mathematical
approaches turn out to be shallower than expected.
Investigations evolve during writing in ways that
require a fresh structural approach.
The second General IA Plan gives you:
→ A plan for a second topic if your first
direction changes
→ A plan for a different mathematical approach
to the same topic
→ A backup structure if your teacher redirects
you after Phase 1
→ An alternative angle if your first investigation
runs into data or depth problems
Students who have only one plan have no room to
adapt. Students with two plans have options.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
5 — IA WRITING GUIDE
Individual value: $12.99
Knowing what examiners look for is one thing.
Knowing how to write your IA so it actually
demonstrates those things is a completely
different skill.
The IA Writing Guide teaches you the second one.
THE CORE PRINCIPLE: MATH → INTERPRET → REFLECT
After every mathematical result in your IA:
1. MATH — Present the result with proper notation
2. INTERPRET — Explain what it means in your
real-world context
3. REFLECT — Evaluate its limitations, significance,
or connection to your broader investigation
This single cycle is what separates a collection
of calculations from a genuine exploration that
scores on all five criteria simultaneously.
The Writing Guide teaches you how to apply it
on every page — not just in the conclusion.
WHAT’S INSIDE (17 pages):
Section 1 — Writing Your Title
→ Title formula with 5 weak titles rewritten
as 5 strong titles
Section 2 — Writing Your Introduction
→ The 4 elements every introduction needs
→ Aim template with 3 worked examples
→ Personal connection template with 2 examples
→ Full before-and-after introduction with
annotated breakdown
Section 3 — Writing Your Mathematical Development
→ How to structure mathematical work logically
→ How to present mathematics with proper notation
→ Graph and table formatting checklists
→ Analysis template with worked example
→ Reflection template with worked example
→ Full before-and-after mathematical paragraph
→ SL guidance: what “competent” looks like with
worked examples
→ HL guidance: what “sophisticated” looks like
with worked examples
Section 4 — Writing Your Conclusion
→ 4-paragraph conclusion template
→ Full before-and-after conclusion with
annotated breakdown
Section 5 — Bibliography and Appendices
Section 6 — Formatting and Presentation
Section 7 — Mathematical Language and Notation
→ 20-pair language upgrade glossary
→ 11 terms to avoid in academic writing
→ 5 before-and-after sentence pairs
PLUS: A complete before-and-after paragraph
with a 10-point annotated breakdown of every
change and why it matters — the most practical
single page in the entire guide.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
6 — IA RUBRIC BREAKDOWN
Individual value: $10.55
The Writing Guide teaches you how to write.
The Rubric Breakdown shows you exactly what
the examiner is looking for when they read it.
For each of the 5 IB IA criteria, you get a
complete 6-part deep dive:
PART 1 — Official IB Mark Descriptors
The actual language IB uses at every mark level.
PART 2 — Plain English Translation
What each descriptor actually means in practice —
the way a trusted teacher explains it, not the
way a formal document reads.
PART 3 — Illustrative Examples
Fictional student writing showing the same content
at a low mark level and a high mark level —
side by side, so you see exactly what changed
and why.
PART 4 — Most Common Reasons for Mark Loss
The specific mistakes examiners flag year after
year for that criterion.
PART 5 — How to Move Up One Level
Specific, actionable steps for every mark level
transition: 0–1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4.
PART 6 — Examiner Insight
A direct window into how examiners think about
this criterion — the kind of knowledge that
makes you realize you’d been misunderstanding
the descriptor entirely.
ALL 5 CRITERIA COVERED IN FULL:
✅ Criterion A: Presentation (4 marks)
✅ Criterion B: Mathematical Communication (4 marks)
✅ Criterion C: Personal Engagement (3 marks)
✅ Criterion D: Reflection (3 marks)
✅ Criterion E: Use of Mathematics (6 marks)
— Dedicated SL guidance with worked examples
— Dedicated HL guidance with worked examples
— SL vs HL comparison table
PLUS: “What Examiners Wish Every Student Knew”
— 8 examiner insights drawn from IB examiner
report patterns. The knowledge that separates
students who score 17+ from those who plateau
at 13–14.

and realize they need more structure,
better writing, and a clearer understanding
of what the examiner wants — all at once
→ Students whose first topic direction is
uncertain and who want the flexibility of
two IA plans
→ IB Math AA students (SL and HL)
→ IB Math AI students (SL and HL)
→ Parents looking for a comprehensive,
one-time resource purchase that covers
their child’s entire IA process
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHEN TO BUY THIS BUNDLE
The Success Bundle gives maximum value when
purchased early — ideally before or at the
very beginning of the IA process. The earlier
you have all six resources, the more of the
process they can actively guide.
That said, if you’re mid-IA and realize you
need more support, this bundle still represents
the best value — because the Writing Guide
and Rubric Breakdown are equally valuable
during revision as they are during first draft.
