MYP3 Math Test (Grade 8, but could be used for Grade 7 or 9 depending on your curriculum) Tests are leveled to have questions that roughly demonstrate achievement level at 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8 bands of Criterion A (MYP). Two tests and solutions are provided. Tests are marked holistically so there isn't a "markscheme" but solutions provide a guide

Math Angles and Polygons Practice - 5 different practice sheets. - 1 targeting vocabulary only - 2 tasks targeting a variety of angle and polygon practice for an entire unit - 2 tasks targeting finding angles using a variety of parallel angle and shape theorems.

This is ONE OF a set of scaffolded tasks that enable students to investigate patterns in the Wheel of Theodorus. This provides purposeful practice of Pythagorean theorem. Task 3 - students are given tables to help them organize their work. The task does not ask students to prove or justify the patterns they find. Buy this by itself or in a bundle with other scaffolded tasks. The set of tasks includes solutions!

An integrated mathematics project for elementary or middle school students using skills with perimeter and area and decimal operations. Project is meant to be collaborative with one student as "Architect" and other student as "Accountant". Project can be flexibly adapted in a variety of ways. Zip file includes: Task Sheet with Rubric (MYP crit C and D) Floor plan (blank) - pictured Floor plan with measurements Schedule and Checklist for scaffolding (Word) Tracking Sheet (Word) Budget Organizati

This is the solutions from a set of scaffolded tasks that enable students to investigate patterns in the Wheel of Theodorus. This provides purposeful practice of Pythagorean theorem. Buy these solutions or the whole set of tasks as a bundle.

A deep application task requiring students to justify the degree of accuracy of their results from surface area and volume calculations using error bounds of measurement. 4 different tasks practicing the same skill. Could be used as low as 4th or 5th grade and as high as 10th or even 11th grade depending on your purposes.

This is a set of scaffolded tasks that enable students to investigate patterns in the Wheel of Theodorus. This provides purposeful practice of Pythagorean theorem. Task 1 - students have no tables and must organize their work themselves. The task prompts students to prove or justify the patterns they find. Task 2 - students have no tables and must organize their work themselves. The task does not ask students to prove or justify the patterns they find. Task 3 - students are given tables to help

Mathematics Investigation to help students determine the method for finding the result of two optimization problems: 1) the maximum area of a rectangle, given a perimeter 2) the minimum perimeter of a rectangle, given an area

A Mathematics Investigation of maximum possible area of different 2D shapes with a given perimeter. Students can determine the area of each and make a conclusion about which of the shapes will have the highest possible area. Requires trigonometry for the pentagon/hexagon/octagon.

An investigation task which challenges students to use their knowledge of the pythagorean theorem to create a general equation for the length of a helix. Potentially could be developed into an assessment task.

A mathematics investigation task that challenges students to find the dimensions of a cylindrical coca cola can with the minimum surface area, given a known volume.

This is an in-class investigation to introduce the concept of planar transformations to middle school students

A Mathematics Investigation for developing/finding the formula for the surface area of a cone and the surface area of a cylinder.

An inquiry activity in context to help students determine the meaning of parameters in vertex form, factored form, and standard form of Quadratic Functions.

A brief investigation of right-angled trigonometry using similar triangles. Students discover ratios for sine cosine and tangent.

A simple area-based proof of the Pythagorean Theorem students can use to prove it.

A task that challenges students to use their trigonometry knowledge to solve a problem in a real life situation.

A task that asks students to apply their knowledge of ratios and trigonometry to a real life situation.
