Features of an Open Task_Eureka_G6-8_BJ/CJB by Algebra forAll https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i Please respond in your assigned column below. en-us 2021-11-22 16:39:20 UTC 2021-11-23 21:00:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Students have to access their prior knowledge to create a plan to answer a problem. There is not one answer to a problem so students need to be able to explore different possibilities and be able to explain if their answer is reasonable for not. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909250950 2021-11-23 20:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909250950 Students are applying the same skills but in different ways. They are expanding on the skill and applying other mathematical ideas to compare and contrast the two problems. Students could have even created a table to compare their ideas and find patterns. The opportunities are endless. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909253451 2021-11-23 20:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909253451 Group 4 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909255160 -We can see how the students think in this task. We can see if they use visuals to organize their thinking.
-We can see if they systematically break down the open ended problem and start looking at specific types of coins.
-We can see if they connect multiplication and addition when using the same type of coins.
-We can share other students thinking with the entire class. Students can share and verbalize their process/thinking.
-Assesses mathematical knowledge without a lot of reliance on language.
-We can see if students are able to connect different strategies or recognize similarities.]]> 2021-11-23 20:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909255160 Flexibility works in the open task because students have multiple ways of reaching the same goal. For example, when students have 3 coins they can come up with how much money they know of or familiar with. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909255269 2021-11-23 20:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909255269 The second task allows students the opportunity to develop spoken and written mathematical and non-mathematical vocabulary which is important our English language learners and our native speakers. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909255596 2021-11-23 20:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909255596 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909255696 Students who saw this task will ask questions for the teacher to clarify.]]> 2021-11-23 20:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909255696 A method for solving isn't immediately obvious and it requires flexibility of thinking to begin thinking about how to approach the task. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909276250 2021-11-23 20:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909276250 Allowed for students to answer the problem in any way possible. This allowed for students to show their understanding of what the question was actually asking. - Kaitlyn https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909276420 2021-11-23 20:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909276420 I think it's a challenging task linguistically. There is a lot of nuance in the wording and it requires careful reading to fully understand what it says/means. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909276930 2021-11-23 20:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909276930 This task allowed for students to solve the problem in multiple different ways. Showed their understanding of the problem - Kaitlyn https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909277028 2021-11-23 20:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909277028 this task let you see what students understand based on their approach to the problem. Some might know something about fraction being division. Some might know something about equation and etc... https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909277403 2021-11-23 20:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909277403 Able to understand a students thinking and process to find answers to problems - Kaitlyn https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909277775 2021-11-23 20:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909277775 I don't know if I think it's particularly engaging unless the student is already interested in testing their mathematical skills. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909277776 2021-11-23 20:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909277776 Students can use visual models to make sense of the mathematical concepts . ychen2211_1 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909279876 2021-11-23 21:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/snuckpjx69eqt54i/wish/1909279876
