This project assesses students ability to draw rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids of given areas on a scaled grid. They will need to be able to use the area formulas to work backwards to find side lengths that fit the requirement for each animal and use the formulas to show that their area calculation is correct. A detailed MYP Criterion D (Applying Mathematics in the Real World) Rubric is included. I spent about 2 and a half 90 minute class periods on this project and many

Each student chooses a different pair of numbers (one fraction, one whole or mixed), make up a corresponding word problem for multiplication and one for division using their two numbers, answers the question using a representation, and checks their answer using keep-change-flip. An MYP Communication rubric (out of 8) and a 100 point rubric are both included so you can choose. Lots of Differentiation with - Choice of problems ranging from easier to very challenging - Reference sheets to suppor

This product includes 3 different Halloween-themed non-curricular tasks for you to choose from. Have fun with a challenging task or riddle with your students while they get a chance to practice collaboration with lower-stakes tasks. The tasks have to do with Halloween creatures, haunted houses, and trick-or-treating plans. The math concepts are accessible to most grades but ideal for 3rd through 8th grade. One of the 3 tasks is more mathematically appropriate for 6th-8th grade only. The files

Each student chooses a different pair of numbers (they range from 8 & 4 to 80 & 4 so students can choose an appropriate challenge), make up a corresponding word problem for multiplication and one for division using their two numbers, answers the question using a representation and explain how they did it. A rubric (out of 4) is included. Lots of Differentiation with - Choice of problems ranging from easier to very challenging - Reference sheets to support students in the more challenging aspe

These quizzes and slideshows with good and bad examples are how I introduce the expectations of MYP to my 6th graders (MYP year 1). This bundle includes a Criterion B quiz, Criterion D quiz and several examples and non examples of the following skills Writing a general ruleVerifying your rule with examplesExplaining the accuracy of your answerDetermining if your answer makes sense in the context of the problemAfter teaching MYP year 1 for 3 years, these are the MYP skills that my students have

The task: Draw 4 points such that when you connect each point to the other 3 points for a total of 6 line segments, there are exactly 2 distinct lengths of line segments. You must connect each point to every other point. This product includes examples and non-examples to use when introducing this task to kids questions to support struggling and advanced groupsa detailed two page answer key that demonstrates each solution visuallyThis worked really well with my honors Geometry students, it led

I use this quiz as a first introduction to a Criterion D assessment. Prior to this we have class discussions about what it means to explain the accuracy and determine whether an answer makes sense in the context. When I give the quizzes back, I go through these examples to help students better understand what it means to explain the accuracy and determine whether an answer makes sense in the context. Includes bonus challenge question.

I use this quiz in the beginning of the year to introduce the idea of writing and testing conjectures/general rules. The next class, I go through these examples to help students better understand the difference between a specific statement and a general rule.
