Proportions in Action- MYP 4 Math Extended- Surendra Bisht & Pooja Sharma

Objective of the Learning Engagement: Understanding of Direct Variation and the Constant of Proportionality

Details of the Learning Engagement: In the "Proportions in Action" activity, conducted for both sections of Grade 9 Extended Math at RO MPH, students engaged in identifying and connecting tables, graphs, and equations with six different real-life situations representing direct variation. The activity involved pre-provided tables, graphs, and equations that students had to analyze and match with the given scenarios.

The activity required students to paste their matched findings on chart paper.

Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teachers:
This visual representation helped reinforce their understanding of direct variation and the constant of proportionality. By working with multiple formats of information, students enhanced their ability to interpret and connect mathematical relationships in practical contexts.

Objective of the Learning Engagement:  To study the motivations behind decision making Details of the Learning Engagement: Today in my Grade 9 English class, we explored the idea of decision-making and what drives people to make the choices they do. Our focus was Joe Keller’s fateful decision to ship faulty airplane parts in Arthur Miller’s timeless play All My Sons. Students reflected on what lay behind Keller’s choice: was it mainly socio-economic pressure, or was it a result of his deeply flawed character? This sparked a lively debate in class, with many different perspectives coming to the surface. To wrap up, the students created posters that tried to justify Keller’s decision-making process from different angles.   Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teacher: It was inspiring to see such young learners engaging passionately with themes like war profiteering, morality, and survival under extraordinary circumstances. That’s the real magic of literature...
