World History in IB MYP Grade 1 History

This page collects World History resources for IB MYP Grade 1 History. Learners at this foundational stage work on exploring stories from around the world and investigating events in different countries.

MYP History is assessed against four criteria (A: knowing and understanding, B: investigating, C: communicating and D: thinking critically). Regular practice with world history builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.
