TOK EXHIBITION Object 1: A Mathematical Proof (e.g., Pythagorean Theorem Proof)
- Theme: Knowledge and the Knower
- Rationale: A mathematical proof, such as that of the Pythagorean theorem, exemplifies a type of knowledge that is generally considered less open to interpretation due to its logical and deductive foundation. This object allows students to explore how the universal language and methodologies of mathematics contribute to its perceived objectivity and certainty. It prompts discussion on the nature of mathematical knowledge as inherently less subjective compared to areas of knowledge that are more interpretive, such as the arts or ethics, highlighting the role of reasoning in establishing a shared understanding.

TOK EXHIBITION Object 2: A Legal Document (e.g., Constitution)
- Theme: Knowledge and Language
- Rationale: Legal documents, like a country’s constitution, are intended to provide a clear framework for governance and rights. However, they often require interpretation by courts and legal scholars, making them an interesting case for exploring the balance between precise language and the necessity of interpretation. This object encourages students to examine how even seemingly clear legal language can be open to various interpretations, reflecting on the influence of context, precedent, and changing societal values on legal knowledge.
Objects in the TOK exhibition serve as tangible manifestations of complex TOK concepts, allowing students to explore and demonstrate their understanding of knowledge in a concrete and relatable context. They act as catalysts for deep reflection, discussion, and analysis, bridging abstract theory with real-world examples and personal experiences. By strategically choosing objects that offer clear relevance and depth, students position themselves to deliver a compelling exhibition that fully addresses the criteria for a 10/10 score.
