Population and Settlement in IB MYP Grade 1 Geography
In IB MYP Grade 1 Geography, Population and Settlement gives foundational learners (ages 11–12) the chance to practise exploring where people live nearby and investigating different types of settlement.
MYP Geography is assessed against four criteria (A: knowing and understanding, B: investigating, C: communicating and D: thinking critically). Regular practice with population and settlement builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.
What learners practise
- Exploring where people live nearby
- Investigating different types of settlement

For teachers
Use population and settlement 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.
