This document provides templates for creating a WebQuest, which is an inquiry-oriented lesson format that uses web links for students to learn. The templates include sections for the student page and teacher page. The student page sections are an introduction, task, process, evaluation, conclusion and credits. The teacher page provides additional context for other teachers, including standards, resources and a facilitation script. The overall goal is for students to solve math problems by accessing online resources and working through the outlined process.
