Student Fit
Who should take MYP 2?
MYP 2 students ready to connect familiar calculations to algebraic and graphical methods.
Learners who benefit from a structured plan alongside their current school lessons.
I check signed-number operations, fraction arithmetic and simple equations before tackling multi-step work.
Students who want to explain their reasoning as well as improve calculation accuracy.
Syllabus Map
MYP 2 syllabus & learning plan
IB MYP is a flexible framework, not a single worldwide year-by-year syllabus. The topics below are a suggested tutoring sequence; lessons follow your school's unit plan, prior learning and assessment criteria.
Algebra & equations
Represent a situation algebraically and solve it reliably.
Patterns, graphs & models
Connect a sequence or situation to a table, rule and graph.
Geometry & measurement
Use relationships between shapes and measurements.
Statistics & probability
Compare data and justify conclusions from evidence.

Data types and sampling choices
Frequency tables and grouped data
Averages, spread and comparison
Scatter plots and informal correlation
Sample spaces for combined events
Experimental versus theoretical probability
Learning in practice
Investigate, explain and apply
A sample investigation
Compare growing tile borders using tables and graphs. State a rule, check it against new cases and explain where the growth comes from.
A real-world application
Compare two shopping offers using unit rates and discounts, explaining assumptions about quantities and rounding.
These are practice examples; your school sets the assessed tasks and their requirements.
Assessment
MYP 2 assessment & investigations
1
Criterion A — choose and use suitable mathematics in routine and unfamiliar problems.
2
Criterion B — explore examples systematically, identify a rule and support your conclusion.
3
Criterion C — connect notation, diagrams, tables and explanations so your reasoning is understandable.
4
Criterion D — select mathematics for a practical situation, interpret the result and evaluate its usefulness.
5
School tasks use the relevant year-level descriptors. Tutoring feedback follows the task rubric; the school awards official grades.
6
Preparation focuses on school-based tests, investigations and applications; this year is not presented as a separate IB external mathematics examination.
How Classes Run
Teaching plan
- Review the school unit plan, recent marked work and the student’s own explanation of a difficult question.
- Teach a priority concept through a worked example, then fade support as the student attempts a related problem.
- Use short independent practice and an error log to check whether learning lasts beyond the lesson.
- Practise an investigation or application with feedback on reasoning and presentation, while the student remains the author.
- Prepare for MYP 3 with stronger algebra, proportional reasoning and the ability to connect graphs to situations.
FAQ
Common questions about MYP 2
Practical answers about topics, school alignment and assessment for this MYP year.
Which grade is MYP 2 equivalent to?
MYP 2 usually corresponds to Grade 7 (Class 7). This is the common Grades 6–10 mapping; local year names and placement rules vary by school and country.
Is there one fixed MYP 2 syllabus?
IB MYP is a flexible framework, not a single worldwide year-by-year syllabus. The topics below are a suggested tutoring sequence; lessons follow your school's unit plan, prior learning and assessment criteria.
How do you match lessons to my school?
Share the unit outline, textbook chapter, task rubric and a recent test. I identify the current topic, prerequisite gaps and the depth your teacher expects.
Is this Standard Level or Higher Level?
SL and HL are DP course labels. MYP uses mathematics and extended mathematics pathways; the school’s provision and the student’s readiness determine the appropriate challenge.
How will my progress be assessed?
I use short diagnostic questions, independent practice and investigations alongside your school’s rubric. There is no separate external IB mathematics exam for each early MYP year.
What should I bring to an introductory session?
Bring the school topic list, one recent marked assignment and one question you found difficult. The paid session combines a learning check with focused teaching and a suggested plan.
