Give Highly Engaging thinking tasks.

Create questions that are non-routine tasks

Give student task with prior knowledge. Give the task according to grade appropriate. Task where they get stuck, do rethinking, discussions to get unstuck.

A good problem-solving task is more about what the task does (promoting student thinking) rather than what the task is asking.

I love to have students think, to come up with their own reasoning and to achieve their goals by solving problems themselves. That is a good feeling for the students and the Teacher. But there could be times when due to time constraints, you don't have the pleasure of lengthening the thinking process and you start giving them ideas or clues

Start the lesson with an engaging task even though it does not have anything to do with the lesson. It gets the students talking to each other and more comfortable to work together

how to find so many high thinking tasks to ask them everyday at the beginning of the classroom. With students of all math skill level in the classroom how to create a balance where they are not frustrated?

After you having the students try something without telling them how, should we do some kind direct instruction to introduce them to the higher level questioning?

There are 3 types of tasks that promote engagement: non-curricular, scripted curricular, and as-is curricular tasks. Each type has its place in a lesson to enhance learning.

What counts as non-curricular for different grade level

Takeaways

2025-09-15 17:43:24 UTC

Starting with noncurricular tasks can get students thinking about math which in turn can help students in learning curricular tasks.

Mimicking is a habit students acquired to learn content.

It is important to promote tasks that promote the engagement of students and step up to high order thinking questions.
