Title: Command Terms Decoded: Where MYP Students Lose Marks They Shouldn't | Koncepts Webinar

 State. Describe. Explain. Evaluate. Every MYP question starts with a command term, and every command term defines exactly how deep the answer must go. Students who know the content still lose marks by answering a "describe" when the question said "explain" — one of the most common, most command term defines exactly how deep the answer must go. Students who know the content still lose marks by answering a "describe" when the question said "explain" — one of the most common, most fixable mark leaks in the MYP. In this session we'll cover: - The command terms that matter most in Maths and Sciences, arranged as a depth ladder — what each one demands, and what it doesn't - Side-by-side answers to the same question at different command terms, so the difference becomes visible - How command terms connect to criteria and achievement levels — why an "explain" answer to an "evaluate" question caps the level - Simple classroom routines that train students to read the command term before the content - A reference sheet of Maths and Sciences command terms with student-friendly definitions, yours to keep For MYP Mathematics and Sciences teachers — and a good one to bring a colleague to, since command terms cut across every subject.
