In this investigation, students use their knowledge of perimeter and linear sequences to explore properties of a uniquely defined shape.
Including the assessment, rubric, task specific clarification, marking guidelines and sample answer.
Recommended for MYP4.
Overview
This booklet is ideal for students preparing for the eAssessment or at the end of MYP5/beginning of DP to review prior learning. Comes with mark scheme and cover sheet for reflection.
Each booklet has three sections (communication is assessed throughout) which should take 20 - 25 minutes each:
Section 1: 4 short/medium questions assessing knowing and understanding (criteria A and C)
Section 2: a real life application question (criteria D and C)
Section 3: an investigation (criterion B and C)
Note: there is space to answer section 1 questions in the booklet but, due to the nature of an application problem and investigation, it is advised that students do this on a separate paper.
Specific
Topics in this booklet:
Inequalities (2 marks)
Scientific notation/standard form (4 marks)
Linear functions (6 marks)
Representing data (8 marks)
Real life - circles in a personal and cultural expression context (20 marks)
Investigation - exponential functions leading to geometric patterns (20 marks)
How to use
Homework - it is expected that students will need 72 minutes for the whole booklet so it could be given over a longer period of time or each section could be given as a shorter task. If students were self-assessing against the markscheme, this could very nicely fit into three 30 minute homework tasks.
Developed into a unit assessment - the real life problem and investigation can both easily be developed into criteria based assessments purely by removing the subparts and giving students the flexibility to choose their own methods to solve the problem posed. All strands of criterion B and D are assessed in each booklet. Note: you would need to create your own rubric/task specific clarifications for this but the solutions on the markscheme would still be applicable.
In class assessment - for those preparing for the eAssessment this is a great resource to test on demand recall of mixed concepts. Again, if a lesson or double lesson time does not allow for 72 minutes of assessment, different sections of the booklet can be given over a series of lessons.
Class activity - end of MYP review, start of DP prior knowledge check, revision activity. Questions could be given as a quiz, a relay, a team challenge etc.
Self study - some students will want a resource to prepare for the eAssessment, or for general review of their learning at the end of MYP. Coupled with the markscheme, students can work through this independently.
Basis for a study plan - the reflection and next steps section can be used once the marks are filled into the given table. Students should note their strengths and areas for improvement (either mathematical concept e.g. trigonometry, or criterion specific e.g. verifying a general rule). This will make it easier to set goals and plan next steps for progress.

15 Sample Questions:
This resource is designed for IB MYP Language and Literature educators seeking to help students prepare for their e-assessments. It provides a variety of practice questions that closely align with the demands of the MYP e-assessment format, specifically for Task 3: writing functional text. The aim is to offer students valuable opportunities to hone their skills in crafting responses to real-world scenarios, enhancing their understanding of purpose, audience, and format.
The sample questions in this resource are carefully crafted to reflect the different types of functional writing students may encounter in the final assessment. These include letters, reports, articles, and speeches, allowing students to explore various registers, tones, and styles. Each question is accompanied by helpful prompts that guide students to focus on critical aspects of functional writing, such as clarity, conciseness, and appropriate use of language for the intended audience.
Additionally, this resource offers suggested rubrics and marking criteria that follow MYP assessment standards, making it easy for teachers to provide constructive feedback and for students to understand how they can improve. Whether used for class exercises, homework assignments, or mock assessments, the questions are designed to progressively build students’ confidence and competence.
Incorporating these questions into the classroom will help develop key skills required for successful completion of the MYP e-assessment. This resource is ideal for teachers looking for ready-made, high-quality practice materials that can supplement their current teaching approach while providing students with a solid foundation in functional writing tasks.
This resource is a comprehensive listening comprehension activity designed for MYP 3 French students, focusing on the topic of technology, specifically the use of smartphones and the potential for dependency.
