This document outlines assignments for a math teaching course, including reading articles on problem solving and reflection. Students are asked to read about and reflect on two math problem solving tasks involving carpeting and fencing. They also need to analyze vignettes about student opportunities to think and reason in different math classes, and potential obstacles. Additional resources on discourse, questioning techniques, and real-world math examples are provided. Assignments include emailing an article response and submitting a problem of the week solution.
