Criterion A

Use this question bank to search for levelled Middle Years Programme Mathematics Criterion A questions and quickly create assessment tasks.

Topics are organised according to suggested MYP years in which they might be taught. This can vary from school to school.
Click on individual topics to search for questions on those topics.
To search all topics in a unit / section / year / level click on the title of that unit / section / year / level. You can search for up to 50 specific topics.
To search for questions on all topics leave all topics unselected.
Search results are colour coded according to their criterion A suggested level. Level 1 - 2 questions are red, Level 3 - 4 questions are orange, Level 5 - 6 questions are yellow and Level 7 - 8 questions are green.
The level of a question can be changed from the suggested level by selecting a new level in the top-right corner of the question preview window.
MYP mathematics programmes vary greatly from school to school. Please use your professional judgement to select appropriate questions (and their levels) for a task.
