INTELLECTUALLY ENGAGING PROBLEMS: THE HEART OF A GOOD LESSON

Tuesday, April 14 - Saturday, April 18
NCTM Conference, Boston, Massachusetts

Abstract/Description:
A common characteristic of good lessons worldwide is that students are intellectually engaged in solving and reasoning through rich mathematical problems. I will share several problems that I have seen during observations in Japan and have subsequently used in the U.S. I will also discuss some features I have found common among these rich problems.
