To effectively prepare your class for the MYP Mathematics eAssessment, use all four learning experiences (1 hour+ each) which provide students with everything they need to be successful.
THIS RESOURCE
Lesson 4 - preparing for part 3/criterion B investigation. An opportunity to check students prior knowledge of different types of sequences, a focus in how to use the context to write a general rule and justify it. Relevant command terms are explicitly defined with common mistakes clarified. Including one eAssessment style investigation with attached checklist for self or peer marking.
OTHER RESOURCES
Lesson 1 - detailing the structure of the test, gathering student’s knowledge and questions around the eAssessment, unpacking the command terms through a crossword and wordsearch, familiarising students with the digital tools used, navigating what good communication looks like and suggestions for criterion C related activities. Plenty of “top tips” included throughout. Bonus resource: an interactive notebook with command term definitions, formula book, and useful mathematical notation.
Lesson 2 - preparing for part 1/criterion A questions. Working through an unfamiliar problem together, understanding what topics could come up, guidance for creating a study plan, mixed topic questions to be used for a group quiz or independently.
Bonus resource: digital self-assessment checklist with suggested resources to help revision.
Lesson 3 - preparing for part 2/criterion D real life problems. With a focus on understanding what is meant by “relevant factors” and “justifying” an answer and it’s accuracy. Including one eAssessment style real life problem with attached checklist for self or peer marking.

Support your students as they prepare for the eAssessment with this FULL (100 marks, 2 hours) mock/practice paper that you can assign physically as a PDF or digitally via a unique Desmos link.
Includes:
Printable questions
Link to Desmos version of activity
Thorough markscheme and recommended grade boundaries
Colour coded grading sheet to help provide student feedback
What makes this resource great:
-Questions on topics from all four branches (numerical and abstract reasoning, thinking with models, spatial reasoning and reasoning with data).
-Follows the structure of the real e-assessment with five criterion A test questions, two criterion D real life problems and one extended criterion B investigation.
-No extended topics from the skills framework are included, making this suitable for all students.
Note: while the Desmos task will let students practice typing responses and has an on-screen calculator, the tech is not as extensive as the real e-assessment (no auto copy from the calculator, no timer, fewer interactivities and media additions). It is advised to have them download past e-assessments from myib if possible, or practise completing tasks on assessprep if your school has this package.
Please send through any feedback or questions that would enable this to be a more useful resource for you.
Investigations for all levels from MYP1 to MYP5 including extended classes. Covering a range of topics from number, algebra, functions, shape, statistics and probability. All 10 investigations have task specific clarifications which align with the criteria levels (1-8) as well as solutions and marking guidelines. Can be used as a formative or summative assessment or provided as revision or homework.
