Mathematical Task

Six Planning Questions 1. Is the problem interesting to students? 2. Does the problem involve meaningful mathematics? 3. Does the problem provide an opportunity for students to apply and extend mathematics? 4. Is the problem challenging for students? 5. Does the problem support the use of multiple strategies? 6. Will students' interactions with the problem reveal information about students' mathematics understanding?

“Asking a student to understand something means asking a teacher to assess whether the student has understood it. But what does mathematical understanding look like? One hallmark of mathematical understanding is the ability to justify, in a way appropriate to the student’s mathematical maturity, why a particular mathematical statement is true or where a mathematical rule comes from”(Common Core Standards Initiative [CCSSI]), 2010, p. 4).
