Editor's Notes
Rich task empowers kids, motivates them. They become excited about learning Math. Gets kids “thinking”.
“So what is this about?” The IRP lays out these “underlying” thinking processes to keep in mind when planning lessons. They are referred to in all tasks. Which ones were used in the grid task?
If students have already been given ways to solve a problem, it is not a problem, it is practice (BC IRP)
This is bit of background to the creation of the new IRP’s.
Break into K to 4 and 4 to 9 Grade 4’s have a choice.
Here’s what Summary So what is there a shift a new idea to try Now what the action plan Use the black line master sheet.
