This is a 14-page packet that walks students step by step through a project where they measure real-world objects, create scale drawings, and then compare the perimeters and areas of the real-world objects with the scale drawings to determine if the perimeters and areas of scale and real-world objects can be compared using a scale factor in the same way that lengths and widths can. This 14-page packet includes thorough scaffolding, including explanations of scale drawings, area, and perimeter. T

This is a 10-page packet that walks students step by step through a project where they create a business to sell a product at school for a day. The focusses of this project are to get students thinking about positive and negative integers and how increasing positive numbers (revenue) and decreasing negative numbers (expenses) will yield higher returns. This 10-page packet includes thorough scaffolding, including explanations and data tables. This document also includes a grading rubric, reflecti

This is a beginner Korean course that I designed and taught as an elective course for the foreign students at my last international school in Korea. The purpose of this course is to lay the foundation necessary for students to begin making their own simple sentences in Korean. This course has a large focus on reading the language and grammar. Once one is able to start making their own sentences, then they can start expanding their vocabulary by looking up the words that pertain to them and thei

This Google Sheet is programmed to help demonstrate the power of time and additional monthly contributions in compound interest. All the user needs to do is input numbers for the following 6 values: Age to Start InvestingInitial Investment ValueAdditional Monthly ContributionsAnticipated Annual Growth Rate (%)Interest Rate Variance RangeTimes Compounded Per YearAfter these six numbers have been entered, the Google Sheet is programmed to: calculate the total amount of money that has been inves

This is a 23-page packet that walks students step by step through a project where they collect samples of data that accurately represent the entire populations they are collected from, and then compare related samples using measures of central tendency, measures of variation, and visual methods in order to make comparisons of the total populations. This 23-page packet includes thorough scaffolding, including explanations of key vocabulary and concepts. This document also includes a detailed grad

This is a Google Slides presentation that covers: - Arithmetic sequences and series. - Use of the formulae for the nth term and the sum of the first n terms of the sequence. - Use of sigma notation for sums of arithmetic sequences - Geometric sequences and series. - Use of the formulae for the nth term and the sum of the first n terms of the sequence. - Use of sigma notation for sums of arithmetic sequences This presentation can be used to lecture but includes sufficient detail and to assign stu

This is a document that scaffolds all necessary parts of a lab report and includes clear steps and boxes where students should write each section. This can be used as scaffolding for students with varying levels of experience in MYP Science. This was originally designed for MYP Science Criteria B Inquiring and Designing and MYP Science Criteria C Processing and Evaluating. Each strand (Bi, Bii, Biii, Biv, Ci, Cii, Ciii, Civ, Cv) is addressed separately and in a different color so that students c

This is a document that scaffolds all necessary parts of an MYP Science Criterion D where students reflect on the impacts of science. Each strand (Di, Dii, Diii, Div) is explained in detail and addressed in a different color so that students can more easily identify which strand they are focusing on at that time. Within the section of scaffolding, there is a template for recording notes while doing research. This can be used as scaffolding for students with varying levels of experience in MYP S

This is an example I made of The Planning of an Investigation (MYP Science Criterion B) that includes a research question, background research, hypotheses, explanation of variables, materials list, diagram, and a procedure. This investigation is based around the simple concept of dropping a marker and measuring how it's height changes with time, but there is extensive scientific background is given before stating the hypothesis. Mathematical theory is used to reason each proposed controlled va
