The Mathematical Vision unit plan This is ideal for students relating mathematics and interacting with the world around them. This unit engages students with trigonometry, exponentials (powers), ratios, and spatial awareness.
The Art of Mathematics unit plan is ideal for students relating mathematics and geometry. This unit engages students with shapes, lines, rotations, geometric concepts, dance, and art.
The Problem with Money unit plan is ideal for students relating mathematics and various aspects of money. This unit engages students with fractions, decimals, percentages, flowcharts, univariate and bivariate data, graphs, and pie charts.
The Unlikely Life unit plan is ideal for students relating mathematics and probabilities. This unit engages students with probabilities, tree diagrams, fractions, food webs, and venn diagrams.
These four unit plans each contain many, many links and ideas that keep learning engaging and fun during the weeks that they are running. They are brain-child of months of work to make fully fleshed out mathematics units that integrate other areas of study, but are also truly in keeping to focus on the mathematics and help the students learn in an enjoyable way.
All four of these units are focussed on MYP 2, but could apply to either MYP 1 or 3 easily and be used for that purpose.

This product is the culmination of a huge amount of work and is my ultimate work in attempting to link MYP and STEM education at a clear and teacher friendly level. This document links MYP STEM by concept and criteria and 90 STEM topics which has career related links. It covers MYP Science, Mathematics and Design thinking. Providing over 90 STEM topic primers with practical advice to get you going on your MYP STEM journey. The career related links are a huge plus, so when students ask why they might be interested in learning this STEM topic, you will be able to say well with this learning you could be… an astronaut, a radiotherapist, a builder, an artist or a professional hacker.

The video companions include:
The Higgs Boson, Part I
What if the Earth were Hollow?
Why is it Dark at Night?
Common Physics Misconceptions
Is it Better to Walk or Run in the Rain?
How Big is the Universe?
MAGNETS: How do they work?

Other links:
If you enjoy these, then you might also enjoy the Veritasium video companions, the full set. I highly recommend this resource as it has been my pride and joy to develop for your use.
Usage:
The layout of these video companions are that there are both teacher and student versions of all of these documents. The teacher versions contain the solutions and the administrative information. The student versions contain only the questions and spaces for students to fill in the work. They are easy to use and all in PDF form, including one large ‘master file’ so you can see all the content in one broad sweep and see what video companion will work for you and your students easily.

This is an IB MYP - Mathematical vision related unit - which is ideal for students relating mathematics and interacting with the world around them. This unit engages students with trigonometry, exponentials (powers), ratios, spatial awareness and a great deal more in a broad conceptual understanding. It contains many, many resource links suggested for this unit and makes clear a set of points that students should know, understand and be able to do by the end of the unit. It also has some clear and interactive formative assessments and summative assessments.
This unit is heavily detailed and ideal for something that is truly prepared to use in the classroom. It is an overview for a unit that should run for approximately 5 weeks (assuming 3 lessons a week).
If instead you are looking for an MYP unit planner which is for young students in MYP and would be an ideal first unit for their science, then consider: Nature of Science - introductory unit plan. For around the same age group, but in science - for MYP 2 / 3 an alternative IB MPY unit planner would be: the Food and Energy unit planner or the Growth unit planner.
If rather for younger students you want to integrate both mathematics and STEM, then you might consider: MYP Artifical limb unit.
For older MYP students, then I would suggest The NGSS related - Zero impact (sustainable housing) or for an Interdisciplinary unit - the Electricity / lightning MYP STEM IDU.

This Algebra level-up learning framework included 24 levels and is geared towards helping students learn to deal with more and more advanced problems. The framework includes 121 unique links to support students when they cannot complete the problems in a given level. There are then also links to sources which have relevant problems to ensure that students have a strong grasp on the relevant level of algebra.
There is also supportive images included to explain some of the topics, bonus links to relevant word problems and a full glossary framework in a separate document which is to support students learning all relevant terms for algebra.
This framework would be great for self-paced learning and to support high-achievers or those older students needing more work on their foundations. The documents included are in Word doc format.
This framework covers:
Simple one, two and three step algebra equations
Expansion and factorisation
Equations with powers and variables
Quadratics (all forms and solution methods)
Simultaneous equations (2 equation and 3 equation systems)
Optimization
Polynomials
Binomial expansion
Algebraic fractions (both simple and more complex)

This unit is heavily detailed and ideal for something that is truly prepared to use in the classroom. It is an overview for a unit that should run for approximately 6 weeks (assuming 3 lessons a week).
If instead you are looking for an MYP unit planner also for mathematics, but based on measurement and related concepts, then consider the mathematical vision unit plan or for geometry and artworks, try the Art of Mathematics unit plan. For science and young students in MYP and which would be an ideal first unit, then consider: Nature of Science - introductory unit plan. For around the same age group, but in science - for MYP 2 / 3 an alternative IB MPY unit planner would be: the Food and Energy unit planner or the Growth unit planner.
