- Drawing diagrams
- Writing equations
- Creating a story problem

Students choose their preferred method, solve independently, then pair up to explain their solution method to a partner. Finally, selected pairs share with the class, showcasing different approaches.]]> 2025-04-24 06:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emmanuelestebanacosta/76vag3xnhrbq2e6x/wish/3422906758 emmanuelestebanacosta https://padlet.com/emmanuelestebanacosta/76vag3xnhrbq2e6x/wish/3422906759 - Choose their topic of interest
- Select their presentation format (digital presentation, poster, video, etc.)
- Work individually or in pairs
- Use multiple representations (graphs, tables, equations)

Example topics: planning a party budget, designing a small business, analyzing sports statistics.]]> 2025-04-24 06:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emmanuelestebanacosta/76vag3xnhrbq2e6x/wish/3422906759 emmanuelestebanacosta https://padlet.com/emmanuelestebanacosta/76vag3xnhrbq2e6x/wish/3422906800 - Work at their own pace
