IB PYP Concepts Activity and Posters for Little Kids

*Digital & printable versions included.* Are you looking to bring a deeper understanding of the IB PYP specified (key) concepts and conceptual understanding to your younger elementary students? These posters are designed to be used as learning engagements that will really have the children thinking through the lens of the key concepts and developing a solid understanding of concepts. As we teach through a transdisciplinary approach, the key components within the PYP are the skills based activities and concept based inquiries. Using these posters and activities will have your students thinking more conceptually, using the guiding questions to assist and working towards formulating their own concept-based inquiries. UK & USA spelling.

This set of posters, designed for grades K-2, goes above and beyond the usual reference posters. These are collaborative learning activities within themselves that provoke thinking, narrow the focus through the specified (key) concepts and promote greater conceptual understanding that can be transferred across the disciplines and your programme of inquiry. If you would like a set for big kids, you can find them here.

You will find:

7 specified (key) concept posters

Graphic organisers for recording thinking & assessment

7 Create-Your-Own poster templates

BONUS ACTIVITY: extension activity to further develop conceptual awareness.

You may also be interested in these resources which develop concept-based thinkers and inquirers. These Specified (Key) Concepts Fans are a fabulous tool to have the children create and then keep in their desks or at home. They can refer to them at any time. Another great tool are these Provocation Starter Cards. They will help to guide the children with deeper, concept-based thinking and are perfect for collaborative conversations.

You can also find more information for developing thinkers and inquirers in my blog and within my online PD course, Essentials for Inquiry: Getting Started with Student-Led Inquiry .

Enjoy!
