Population and Settlement in IB MYP Grade 2 Geography
This page collects Population and Settlement resources for IB MYP Grade 2 Geography. Learners at this developing stage work on exploring where people live nearby, investigating different types of settlement and understanding why populations grow and move.
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
- Understanding why populations grow and move
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 population and settlement activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Always ask "why does this matter?" Linking facts to causes, consequences and perspectives is what lifts a good answer into a great one.
