Grade 11 IB Math Exploration and Citation
Welcome to Laurier’s Library website! This is a great place for resources that you may need this year and next.
IB expects that you will reference any material that is not your own. In the case of the Math Exploration/IA, you may be referencing articles, studies, research done by others, images, charts, graphs, etc.
APA is the formatting style that you should use for Math. However IB will accept MLA or Chicago as long as whichever format you use, you remain consistent throughout.
The following links are here to help guide you in this process.
