I’m thrilled to share an exciting expansion to a program that has become a cornerstone of my educational outreach. After two successful years of helping IBDP Physics students build consistency and confidence with my One Problem Per Day / Daily Practice Problems (DPP) series, I am officially extending the program to MYP students!
This decision comes after countless requests from students and fellow educators in the MYP and IGCSE segments. Seeing the impact of this daily-habit-building approach, I knew it was time to provide the same resources for younger learners on their physics journey.
How the Program Works
The structure is simple, consistent, and designed to fit into a busy student’s schedule without being overwhelming.
- 🗓️ The Problem: Every morning from Monday to Thursday at 9:00 AM, I post a new, criterion-focused physics problem.
- 🧠 The Practice: Students have the day to tackle the problem, apply their knowledge, and identify areas where they might be struggling.
- ✅ The Solution: The following evening at 5:00 PM, a detailed video walkthrough of the solution is published on my YouTube channel, ibphysicswithrao.
I started this new MYP series on October 20th, and the four-day weekly schedule (Monday-Thursday) is intentionally designed to cover all four MYP criteria, ensuring a well-rounded and comprehensive review.
Why Is This More Effective Than Conventional Study?
We all know the traditional cycle of cramming before an exam. This program is the antidote.
- Consistency Over Intensity: Instead of long, exhausting study sessions, the DPP model fosters a manageable daily habit. Just 15-20 minutes a day on a single problem builds a stronger, more lasting understanding than hours of last-minute revision.
- Active Recall, Not Passive Reading: Reading a textbook is passive. Tackling a problem forces you to actively retrieve information from your memory, a scientifically proven method for strengthening neural pathways and improving long-term retention.
- Systematic Skill Building: By focusing on one criterion-specific problem at a time, students can systematically build their skills, identify specific weaknesses, and gain confidence in their ability to apply theoretical knowledge.
A Resource for Both Students and Teachers
This initiative has always been about community. The IBDP program has helped me grow my YouTube channel to nearly 2200 videos, creating a massive library of physics resources.
To support this, the worksheets used for these daily problems are also published in PDF format on my website, ibphysicswithrao.com, under the DPP section. I wholeheartedly encourage students to use them for their practice and for teachers to integrate them into their classroom activities.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. I am incredibly excited to see how MYP students will benefit from this structured approach to mastering physics.
