MYP Mathematics Overview
Course: Algebra I
Unit Title | Concepts | Global Context | Statement of Inquiry |
Equations | Logic, generalization, simplification | Globalization and sustainability | Relationships are can generalized or simplified by using equations. |
Building Functions | Relationships, representation, pattern | Globalization and sustainability | Relationships in patterns are used to make crucial decisions |
Systems of Equations | Systems, justification, model | Scientific and technical innovation | Systems of equations can help us to understand how two different situations can/will interact with each other. We can use these models to aid in the justification of decisions that have impacted the development of many different innovations and can be applied in many different situations. |
Linear Equations | Form, model, representation | Globalization and sustainability | Economic models can have different forms and representation. |
Logic | Logic, simplification, equivalence | Scientific and technical innovation | In order to understand scientific principles, humans have had to use logic to simplify equivalent expressions. |
Polynomials | Relationships, model, representation, patterns | Scientific and technical innovation | Operations: Relationships can be modeled and represented in multiple ways. Factoring: Anything that moves comes back to math to the second power. |
Interpreting Functions | Logic, justification, simplification | Scientific and technical innovation | Using logic to simplify and justify statements in a technical context. |
Course: Geometry

Transformation – Make Math Beautiful | Form, equivalence | Personal and cultural expression | Repetition of equivalent forms can be used to create beauty |
Tri to Convince Me | Relationships, patterns, justification | Orientation in time and space | The relationship between past discoveries and the present can be justified using patterns of relationships. |
Be There and Be Square | Form, patterns, measurement | Personal and cultural expression | We can use patterns in measurement to create structure. |
Similarity | Relationships, change, pattern | Scientific and technical innovation | Innovation has been greatly impacted by the patterns we see and the relationships we discover. |
Get Triggy with Me | Relationships, measurement, modeling | Scientific and technical innovation | Relationships and measurements can be used to adapt the world to our needs. |
Building Around the World | Relationships, space, measurement | Scientific and technical innovation | Relationships between space and measurement impact how humans use their understanding of scientific principles to create new structures. |
Round and Round We Go | Relationships, measurement, model | Scientific and technical innovation | The relationships in our natural world due to geography and location in space affect what we experience in life. |
Food Donations | Relationships, space, measurement | Scientific and technical innovation | Using relationships between objects, you can find an efficient use of space to assist in sharing finite resources between communities |
