This week is about inspiring students
through open, beautiful and creative math. We have chosen the different tasks
so that students see math as a broad, interesting and visual subject that
involves deep thinking. Students will learn important growth mindset messages
that will help them feel confident, try harder all year, persist with open and
difficult problems and embrace mistakes and challenge. All tasks are low floor
and high ceiling – they are accessible to all students and they extend to high
levels. All the lessons this week will also focus on developing the CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice as part of the everyday problem solving abilities for our students.
