Global Development in IB MYP Grade 1 Geography
In IB MYP Grade 1 Geography, Global Development gives foundational learners (ages 11–12) the chance to practise exploring different countries and cultures and investigating differences between places.
MYP Geography is assessed against four criteria (A: knowing and understanding, B: investigating, C: communicating and D: thinking critically). Regular practice with global development builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.
What learners practise
- Exploring different countries and cultures
- Investigating differences between places
For students
Work through the worksheets, practice questions and revision resources at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For revision
Use these resources for homework, end-of-unit revision and catching up on anything missed in class.
For teachers
Use global development activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Practise using evidence: for every point you make, name the source, example or data that supports it.
