Abstract

Outcomes!

• I will be able to facilitate an open ended and open middle problems in the classroom, complete with questioning techniques and student prompts.
• I will experience how to modify a textbook problem into a richer open task that encourages discussion and multiple approaches, with a focus on tailoring them to real world applications.
• I will leave with a list of questions, perfect for posing to students while engaged in the problem solving process, and also useful for any class period when students are lacking persistence
