Description
Three-Act Tasks in a Secondary Math Class
- Audience : Middle and High School Math Teachers
- Dates : September 27 & November 1, 2016
- Location : GVSU Allendale Campus
- Description : Looking for a way to engage students in problem solving and modeling? Would you like to see more of the Mathematical Practices utilized in your classroom? Three Act Tasks are an engaging framework to bring problem solving to students in a way that makes mathematical modeling a priority in solving real-world problems. Three Act Tasks is a name coined by Dan Meyer to describe this type activity. The workshop was created utilizing materials from Dan Meyer, NCSM, and NCTM publications. Teachers will learn the instructional design of a three act task, be provided time to review free, online resources, as well as collaborate with other teachers on the preparation and implementation of a three act task. Participants will have time to reflect and share their experiences.
