Unlikely Life - MYP unit bundle

Unlikely Life - MYP unit bundle

(0)
This is an IB MYP unit bundle - Unlikely Life - which is ideal for students relating mathematics and probabilities. This unit engages students with probabilities, tree diagrams, fractions, food webs, venn diagrams 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 bundle contains: The MYP unit plan Instructions and example on the family tree activity Food web summative - task instructions Food web summative - task specific clarifications Plinko probability exploration script Seeing the forest for the trees activity instructions The difficulties of farming instructions MYP Unit summary to be used to introduce students to the unit This unit is heavily detailed and ideal for something that is truly prepared to use in the classroom. It should run for approximately 7 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 or finally for fractions, decimals and percentages and lots of other mathematics, try the Problem with Money 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. 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.
