3. Student Outcome
When selecting and implementing the online resources, the student outcome should be the priority.
What WV CCRS are the students expected to demonstrate?
What Mathematical Habits of Mind are students showcasing?
What are the expectations placed on the students?

4. Online Resources List
There are plenty of resources, but we will explore:
Open Middle
Desmos (Grades 6-12)
Virtual Manipulatives

5. Open Middle
Start with a “closed beginning” where students start with the same problem.
Could potentially have a “closed end” or have the same result.
The “open middle” means that there are several methods of thought to which a problem can be solved.
“Low Threshold, High Ceiling” type of question.

6. Example
Use the digits 1 to 9, at most one time each, to create an equation where 𝑥 has the greatest possible value.
