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...

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...

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 ...
