Modelling the decrease in luminosity of three watches and comparing value for money

Author-published legacy HL Mathematics IA on the decrease in luminosity of three watches and their value for money. The page links to the complete PDF.

Why view it?

Especially useful because the author explains that one mark was lost for use of mathematics and one for communication, allowing modelling, a t-test, length and concision to be considered together.

This is a school collection rather than an official IB assessment page. The grade, year and precise curriculum version are not clearly stated for every document.

Understanding the labels

Source, access and grade are evaluated separately.

A polished-looking paper is not automatically official, current or correctly graded. The cards therefore show where the document comes from and how strongly each claim is supported.

Source status

Official IB source is the strongest provenance. Other categories cover author-published work, school libraries, historical teacher mirrors and commercial platforms.

Access

The library distinguishes free access without an account, free previews that may require sign-in for download, and platforms where full documents may require Premium.

Grade

A grade is never silently treated as official. “Author-stated” and “platform-stated” mean that PreLearning could not independently verify the assessment.

A useful order

Start with the sources that answer your question most directly.

  1. Official IB examples: best for examiner commentary and the assessment perspective.
  2. School-hosted or author-published work: useful for comparing complete structure, mathematics and independent decisions.
  3. Large platforms: useful for browsing and filtering, but always check access, authenticity and grade provenance separately.
Academic integrity

Analyse examples—do not reproduce them.

  • How focused and answerable is the research question?
  • Which mathematics genuinely drives the investigation?
  • Where are independent data, decisions or models visible?
  • How are assumptions, errors and limitations reflected upon?
  • Which aspects would be assessed differently under the current curriculum?

Compare examples first, then develop an independent direction.
