INTRODUCTION
What is the purpose of this document?
This document contains new tasks for the portfolio in mathematics SL. These tasks have been produced by the IB, for teachers to use in the examination sessions in 2012 and 2013. It should be noted that most tasks previously produced and published by the IB will no longer be valid for assessment after the November 2010 examination session. These include all the tasks in any teacher support material (TSM), and the tasks in the document “Portfolio tasks 2009–2010”. The tasks in the document “Portfolio tasks 2011–2012” can be used in the 2012 examinations but NOT in 2013. Copies of all TSM tasks published by the IB are available on the Online Curriculum Centre (OCC), under Internal Assessment, in a document called “Old tasks published prior to 2008”. These tasks should not be used, even in slightly modified form.
What happens if teachers use these old tasks?
The inclusion of these old tasks in the portfolio will make the portfolio non-compliant, and such portfolios will therefore attract a 10-mark penalty. Teachers may continue to use the old tasks as practice tasks, but they should not be included in the portfolio for final assessment.
What other documents should I use?
All teachers should have copies of the mathematics SL subject guide (second edition, September 2006), including the teaching notes appendix, and the TSM (September 2005). Further information, including additional notes on applying the criteria, is available on the Online Curriculum Centre (OCC). Important news items are also available on the OCC, as are the diploma programme
