Multimodal Stimuli in MFL class MYP 1 Spanish -Rafael Pernia Molina

Objective of the Learning Engagement: To answer implicit and explicit information extracted from multimodal stimuli by working together to share knowledge. Details of the Learning Engagement: The students have to listen to audios and select the appropriate information detailed on the audio and do MCQ or crossing. Impact of the engagement on students and my reflection as a teacher: During the activity where students listened to audio clips and answered related questions, the level of student engagement was high. As they worked together, they actively supported one another, helping to ensure that all questions were answered and no gaps were left uncovered. This collaborative environment fostered peer learning and encouraged the development of listening and interpretative skills through shared understanding. However, as a teacher, I observed that while collaboration was beneficial in building confidence and promoting teamwork, it may have limited opportunities to identify individual liste...

The magic of AI Tutor -MYP 4 Physics- Sheeba Abraham

Objective of the Learning Engagement To reinforce key Physics concepts and improve conceptual clarity by using the Toddle AI Tutor for targeted revision, personalized questioning, and instant feedback, enabling students to identify misconceptions and strengthen their understanding in preparation for assessments.   Learning Engagement: The AI tutor feature on Toddle was introduced to me by Dr. Meetu Agarwal. As the time for revision approached, I decided to utilize this tool to kickstart the revision process. Upon logging into the Create AI Tutor feature, several options were available. I chose the Mastery Builder, where I input the syllabus for the upcoming Physics assessment. The AI then generated a set of instructions along with an AI rating scale, allowing students to be placed at different levels: Beginning, Emerging, Developing, and Mastery. Once the students were assigned their respective levels, the AI guided them with progressively more challenging questions. Upon submittin...

Masterclass Magic: Students Teaching Students to Conquer Circle Area in MYP 2 Math-Meghna Kaushik

Objective of the Learning Engagement: The objective was to deepen students’ conceptual understanding of the area of a circle by connecting it to the area of a rectangle through hands-on exploration. It also aimed to promote peer-led learning (through masterclass and group work), communication skills, and differentiation in the classroom. Details of the Learning Engagement: Four MYP 2 students conducted a masterclass where they demonstrated the relationship between the area of a rectangle and a circle using visual and practical methods. They broke down the concept using differentiated tasks suited to different learning levels, ensuring active engagement from all peers. Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teacher: The session was well-received, with classmates expressing clarity in understanding the concept and appreciating the peer explanations. The engagement fostered a supportive and collaborative learning environment where students reported a clearer understandin...

Student Led Masterclass in MYP 4 Physics to teach Astrophysics- Sheeba Abraham

Objective of the Learning Engagement: To provide students with an authentic platform to share their expertise and passion through a Masterclass experience, allowing them to deepen their understanding, enhance their communication skills, and inspire peer learning by taking on the role of a facilitator or subject expert. Details of the Learning Engagement: To enhance conceptual understanding and promote student agency, a masterclass pedagogical approach was implemented. This student-led engagement was part of a broader initiative aimed at empowering learners to take ownership of their learning and authentically share their expertise with peers. Two enthusiastic student volunteers, Yashvi Varshney and Bharavi Kapoor, took the lead in designing and delivering a masterclass on the fascinating topic of Astrophysics. With thoughtful planning and collaboration, both of them conducted a well-structured session covering key themes such as: Solar system, the Life Cycle of Stars, the Big Bang Theo...

The Infinite Skyline: Turning Pi's Digits into a Tangible City MYP 2 Math- Swati Gannavarpu

Objective of the Learning Engagement: To develop an understanding of the mathematical constant π (pi) and its infinite, non-repeating nature. To enhance data representation skills using histograms and bar graphs. To foster creativity and mathematical thinking through a hands-on, visual representation of numbers. Details of the Learning Engagement: Students created a " Pi City" by using the digits of π to construct bar graphs or histograms representing a city skyline. Each digit of π was translated into the height of a building, where: The digits (0-9) corresponded to different bar heights. Students arranged the bars sequentially to create a skyline. They used graphing techniques to ensure accuracy in scale and representation. They added artistic elements to make their "city" visually engaging. This task integrated mathematical reasoning, data visualization, and creativity, making the concept of π more tangible and engaging. Impact of the engagement on students and ...

Superpower Genetics: A Comic Strip Reflection Activity- MYP2 -Science- Nidhi Periwal

Objective of the Learning Engagement: Encourage creative application of genetic concepts through a reflection activity Details of the Learning Engagement: Activity: Students imagine they have a special trait inherited from their DNA (e.g., super memory, night vision, disease resistance).They describe their "superpower" and explain how genetics might influence it. Reflection Questions: What real genetic traits exist that are similar to this superpower? How could genetic mutations lead to advantages in real life? If you could pass on a trait to future generations, what would it be and why? They make a comic strip and upload on https://join.pixton.com/rpkqcm . Student work :   Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teacher: They were enjoying the activity and were able to articulate complex learning of genetics into simple ideas. -Nidhi Periwal
