Park City Mathematics Institute Secondary School Teacher Program Reflection on Practice Class: Day 8 Akihiko Takahashi

Aki continued to talk about our task: Change a typical textbook problem into an interesting problem with multiple solution methods. Each group had to prepare a poster. The meaning of our poster is to create some open ended problems for our students.

Each poster should include:

1. The original problem
2. Your open ended problem
1. One solution with multiple solution methods (multiple paths) or
2. Multiple solutions - multiple answers
3. Anticipating students' responses
4. The purpose of using the problem
