Reply To: Lesson 2: How We Can Be More Picky – Discussion

I like this task… I’m not sure if I tried to get too fancy and strayed off course, but here is what I have so far:

Enter –> Puzzle –> Represent –> Advance

•There needs to be an entry point for all students and different exit points

•Students need to be engaged in solving the puzzle or be puzzled by the problem to activate/deepen their thinking

•Students can communicate or represent their thinking/understanding with numbers, words, and visual representations (which allows me to assess their progress)

•The task will help students advance or deepen their understanding, no matter what knowledge/concepts they brought with them to the task, and the task also advances my curricular plan
