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!
