Mathematically productive tasks#

See also: teaching-mathematics, notice-and-wonder, rich-mathematical-tasks

Rumack & Huinker (2019) cite (unavailable work) that routines become mathematically productive when they:

  • make students’ mathematical thinking visible;
  • require teachers to pay attention to, build on, and respond to student thinking; and
  • develop a collaborative classroom culture focused on sense making.
