Authentic Tasks Based on Key Mathematical Concepts
Providing a variety of materials to help students represent their solutions
Rich tasks allow for higher level thinking skills
Marian Small’s book(available in all elementary and secondary
schools)
OPEN TASKSPARALLEL TASKS
Using Open and Parallel Tasks: A Focus on DI
A line passes through 2 of thesepoints. What could the equation of
the line be?
Open Task
Four friends want to share the three chocolate bars below. How might they share so that everyone gets the same amount?
A Junior Open Task
Parallel Tasks
Same big idea, close in context, can be
discussed simultaneously.
Task ATask BTask C
Parallel Tasks: Complete either question.
Situation 1: Which group has more girls in it? Why do you think this?
Situation 2: Shelley has two dogs, Ollie and Molly. When she brought them home as puppies, Ollie weighted 3 kg and Molly weighed 4 kg. Now, Ollie weights 6 kg and Molly weighs 7 kg. Who grew more? Why do you think this?

Collaborative Inquiry
Consolidation of the lesson helps students connect
new learning
A mathematics learning community provids opportunities for students to
share their thinking
Strategy Walls for students to access information
Help students explore and make sense of the patterns and relationships between the 5 strands in mathematics
Start with the curriculum for both content and instructional strategies
Rich problems allow students to develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, skills and
processes
Rich problems enable students to apply their mathematical knowledge
and extend their understanding
