What is a Good Math Task? by Rayshell Fambrough https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2 Made with the help of a typing monkey en-us 2016-07-19 15:31:50 UTC 2026-03-25 04:57:23 UTC hello@padlet.com A task that requires multi-step problem solving.  Can be solved using multiple strategies, but cannot be completely done mentally. https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634245 2016-07-19 16:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634245 My guess is that it is similar to a performance task.  The students would have a multi step open ended question to solve. https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634246 2016-07-19 16:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634246 A math task is a multi step problem that the students would work to solve over a period of time either individually or with a group utilizing several mathematical strategies. https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634255 2016-07-19 16:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634255 DOK level 3 or 4 https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634256 2016-07-19 16:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634256 has rigor https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634257 2016-07-19 16:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634257 problem solving a multi-step math problem https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634261 2016-07-19 16:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634261 https://padlet.com/fambroughr/aj7mt9u36yj2/wish/116634268 Multi-step, multi-operation, activity that requires critical thinking and problem solving skills
