A task that provides purposeful practice with integers while challenging students to find the greatest/least sum/product and many other challenges with groups of integers.
A test structured by MYP criterion A levels checking students' understanding in combining like terms, exponent laws, equation solving, equation rearrangements, expanding and simplifying, and variable substitution. Can also be used as a diagnostic assessment of students' prior algebra knowledge in more advanced grade levels with students who newly arrive at your school or students who may have knowledge gaps. Can also be used for upper elementary grades if algebra is part of your curriculum.
MYP Style linear patterns task based on number of persons seated at tables. It is valuable as an introduction to investigation task structure or possibly as a formative assessment. It is debatable whether it could be properly used as an investigation. On one hand, students find a linear pattern equation for rectangular tables then apply this idea to finding an equation to trapezoidal tables - so in that sense they apply their pattern finding to a new context. On the other hand, one could see thi
MYP Style (criterion B Investigation and criterion C Communication) linear patterns task. It is valuable as an introduction to investigation task structure or possibly as a formative assessment. It would require doing some linear patterns in class informally (without showing students how to make equations for linear patterns) and then using this to help the students generalize how to do it, with discussion and debrief afterward to ensure all students understand the concept. It is not intended t
Fractions work for students ready for more advanced work. This provides purposeful practice while challenging students to use fraction concepts to justify a maximum or minimum solution, or how many solutions are possible for a given calculation.
A task that provides purposeful practice with integers while challenging students to find the greatest/least difference/quotient and many other challenges with groups of integers. Buy alone or in a bundle
