Objective of the Learning Engagement:  Recap with a Twist: Exploring Domain, Range, and Functions Through Mario Kart-Themed Jeopardy Details of the Learning Engagement: In our MYP-4 Extended Mathematics class, we brought a unique and engaging twist to reviewing concepts of domain, range, and functions. Using a Mario Kart-themed Jeopardy-style game, students worked in mixed-ability groups to answer questions ranging from identifying domains and ranges to analyzing whether a given relation is a function. The competitive format encouraged collaboration and critical thinking, as teams deliberated over their answers and seized opportunities to "steal" points when others stumbled. This activity not only reinforced key concepts but also allowed students to identify areas requiring further review, ensuring a fun and purposeful learning experience. The game showcased how integrating technology and creativity can make mathematical concepts more accessible and enjoyable. -Ms. Pooja Shar...

Objective of the Learning Engagement: Review of Linear Functions: Escape the Chores Details of the Learning Engagement: In our recent MYP 4 Extended Math online class, we embarked on an exciting and engaging activity titled "Escape the Chores." This interactive challenge blended mathematics with a playful scenario, creating an unforgettable learning experience. The premise was simple: students were tasked with "escaping the chores" by correctly solving a series of mathematical questions based on Linear Functions. The activity was divided into five stages, each presenting a unique set of mathematical problems. Impact: Throughout the activity, students strategized and applied their mathematical skills in a real-world context. The excitement was palpable as they worked to overcome each challenge. The activity not only reinforced key mathematical concepts but also fostered critical thinking and problem-solving. -Pooja Sharma

Objective of the Learning Engagement: The objective of this learning engagement was to help students understand the evolution of atomic models (Dalton's, Thomson's, Rutherford's, and Bohr's) and reinforce their conceptual clarity through creative, hands-on model-making using everyday materials. It also aimed to foster collaboration, communication, and analytical skills. Details of the Learning Engagement: Date of Activity: 16th September 2024 This was a group activity where grade 9 Chemistry students were divided into teams, with each group assigned one of the four atomic models: Dalton's, Thomson's, Rutherford's, or Bohr's. Each group was tasked with: 1. Researching their assigned atomic model to understand its features, scientific basis, and limitations. 2. Designing a physical model using available materials like paper, clay, or objects from their surroundings to represent the structure and characteristics of the model. 3. Highlighting key features of...
