Design Development in IB MYP Grade 3 Product Design
In IB MYP Grade 3 Product Design, Design Development gives intermediate learners (ages 13–14) the chance to practise sketching and planning a design, developing and refining design ideas and prototyping and testing design solutions.
MYP Product Design is assessed against four criteria (A: inquiring and analysing, B: developing ideas, C: creating the solution and D: evaluating). Regular practice with design development builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.
What learners practise
- Sketching and planning a design
- Developing and refining design ideas
- Prototyping and testing design solutions
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 design development activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Test early and test often. A quick prototype that fails teaches you more than a polished idea that was never tried.
Quick answers
Who is the Design Development page for?
It is for IB MYP Grade 3 Product Design learners, typically aged 13–14, and for the parents and teachers who support them.
Are design development resources free?
Many are. Each resource shows a clear Free or price label, so you can start with the free ones and add premium resources when you need more practice.
How should I use these resources?
Pick one resource, complete it without help first, then check and correct. Repeating this little and often is more effective than one long session.
