Building a Rich Task

Liljedahl would say this is about making students THINK

Don't interfere, be their guide; their Jedi master

Oh yeah... the IM lesson plans online provide prompts that align with the tasks

Teaching ≠ talking Teaching = listening & asking questions

"There is no try, only do" -Yoda

It can be hard to step aside and let the students do the thinking

Teacher Move: Intentionally select student work that guides other groups

The culture of your class is vital to allow for these interactions

So that's productive struggle: making the math a puzzle that students want to solve together

Resist the urge to be the answer key

Struggle? Sounds hard...

Productive Struggle

Share some of your favorite lines/ questions to deflect the thinking back to students.

8 mins

some ideas

Discuss

What does a teacher do during the productive struggle phase of the lesson?

In what ways can a teacher prepare their students in advance for productive struggle?

Teacher move:Intentionally leave time at the end of class for closure

Nim MASTER 👑

I like how he makes a sense of community by bringing the students together

Students lead the discussion and critique others

the teacher was strategic about which students would share

There's hardly any "traditional" teaching done by the teachers

So give THEM credit for THEIR hard work!

During class they should work harder than the teacher

Math is NOT just about the numbers...

Thanks Dan - I've learned so much!

Let's Review:

  • Prepare
  • Light curiousity
  • Struggle
  • Ownership

it developes skills like creativity, problem-solving, & collaboration

Hi Dan!

Student Ownership

How can we support and include students who are hesitant to participate?

8 mins

Discuss

Estimate What percentage of the talking is done by students vs. by the teacher in these lessons? How about in your lessons?

What benefits are there to shifting our teaching practices to include more rich tasks?

As educators, we should:- Grow & evolve with best practices- Provide personalized learning- Prepare learners to succeed in life- Transform learners into leaders-Spark a passion for knowledge & growth

Teaching using Rich Tasks= The future of teaching

Do you agree?

Videos are a simple, but powerful tool in our environment

- Building connections: something abstract like a scatterplot can show something as simple and concrete as a box of oranges 🤯- Students collecting and plotting data themselves gives them ownership- Plenty of student think time- Teacher is talking, but the discussion is student-led based on ideas shared in chat- Quick, time-efficient task

We don't always have to use a task. Edio includes the "teammates" that essentially provide worked examples of various strategies. Leverage these sparingly when students are hesitant to bring their own ideas forward.

- Warm-up = simple; quick; no "right" answer; low floor - high ceiling- Students bring ideas forward, teacher emphasizes key points- Students reflect and choose which strategy makes the most sense to them - Formative assessment throughout allows the teacher to build discussion based on student input even if learners don't want to share out themselves

Notice:

- Task is introduced, not over-explained- Student think time- Student work shared & engaged with (even misconceptions)- Culture where participation feels safe and mistakes are respected- Students critique and explain other student work- Teacher anticipated: well thought out responses using math vocabulary

Notice:

Alternate link to video

Enaging activities and educational games are still possible virtually - even with only chat participation!

- Clear directions: clarifying when needed; no clear strategy given- Students strategize on their own, exploring probability while trying to earn points for the game- Students build their own connections to the content (probability = gambling) allowing them to take ownership of the math - Teacher highlights key points and leads into deeper exploration of content

Notice:

- Task is introduced - anticipated possible misconceptions- Clearly defined student think time- Does not allow the answer early in the discussion (even if students know it)- Student ideas shared & engaged with- Culture where participation feels safe and mistakes are respected- Students critique and explain other student work-Multiple representations to achieve the answer
