MYP Maths Extended Vectors – Unit E3 lessons and assessment

MYP maths extended unit on vectors, years 4–5: 5 animated lessons, worksheets and 3 criteria A–D assessments with rubrics.
Students describe vectors in column form, find magnitudes, add and scale vectors, use position vectors for midpoints, ratios and collinearity, prove geometric results with vectors, and model motion with velocity vectors. The unit is framed by the global context of orientation in space and time.
What’s included
• 5 animated PowerPoint lessons (65 slides, plus PDF copies): Vectors and Magnitude; Vector Arithmetic; Position Vectors; Vector Geometry; Vectors in Motion
• Each lesson: inquiry question, starter, key ideas, 4 criterion-tagged worked examples, a practice task from levels 1–2 to 7–8 with a model answer, exit ticket and reflection
• 5 worksheets (Word + PDF) in three level bands, with full answers
• Task 1: Criterion A test (50 minutes, 34 marks) with markscheme and marks-to-level conversion
• Task 2: Midpoint Shapes investigation (Criteria B and C), proving Varignon’s theorem with vectors
• Task 3: Drone Delivery real-life task (Criteria D and C), planning a flight in a crosswind
• Teacher guide: unit planner (key and related concepts, statement of inquiry, inquiry questions), lesson plans, misconceptions and grade boundaries
Why teachers use it
Each click reveals the next line of working, so students predict before you show them. Tasks come with student rubrics, checklists, model solutions and moderation notes, and everything is editable.
