MYP 1 Research workshop- Lekha Mukherjee

Objective of the Learning Engagement:

Understanding research and how to plan it

Details of the Learning Engagement:

This is a 4 part research workshop where the aspect of research is broken down into its main components. MYP 1 students are taken through these so as to help them understand the importance of research, how to plan it, how to go about it and how to use it in their tasks.

Impact of the engagement on students and teacher's reflection:

Students understand how to streamline their research questions and thereby, their actual research, ensuring in-depth understanding of the topics they have choose to look into. They also understand how to ensure that they have authentic information, paraphrase and summarise it appropriately and cite their sources as well.

Giving them this training in MYP 1 itself allows for them to use this knowledge across subjects and moving forward to higher grades too.

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...

Beyond the Bill: A Math Lesson in International Dining MYP 2 - Vani Upadhyay

Objective of the Learning Engagement: Culinary Math Expedition: A Real World Adventure in Mathematics where students explored the intricacies of having a meal in a foreign country. Details of the Learning Engagement: In the ever-evolving landscape of education, finding creative ways to blend theoretical knowledge with practical application is key to fostering deeper understanding and engagement among students. Embark on a 'Culinary Math Expedition' a dynamic learning experience that takes students on a mathematical journey through the world of international dining, fostering a deeper understanding of how discounts and taxes affects the final amount of bill and currency conversion. The journey began with forming groups, or "dining tables," tasked with choosing a foreign country and finding a café or restaurant whose menu is available online. Action: The Math Behind the Meal Armed with a detailed handout, each group listed their selected menu items and prices. They dre...

Chemistry Mash-up Mania: Crafting chemistry with clay - MYP1- Prerna Karmarkar

Objective of the Learning Engagement: The objective of this activity is to help students understand and differentiate between elements, compounds, and mixtures through interactive and hands-on approaches. By creating and analyzing physical models using colored clay and participating in a role-play activity, students can visualize molecular structures, embody atomic interactions, and engage with abstract chemical concepts in a tangible and meaningful way, fostering deeper comprehension and retention. Details of the Learning Engagement: Project Task given: Students were assigned a task to create a 3D molecular model set using coloured clay balls to represent elements, compounds, and mixtures. Students worked in groups to construct and classify examples of each. Students will document their observations and reasoning for classifying models as elements, compounds, or mixtures in the provided reflection sheet. Analogical Connection: Students worked in groups to create 3D molecular models us...
