Open Middle tasks provide opportunities for student to approach a mathematical task using different strategies and representations. They can be used as a warm-up/closing activity, as a formative assessment, or to facilitate discourse and discussion and get insite into student thinking and problem solving. These tasks provide a great opportunity for student to engage with the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

This article describes the principle of Universal Design for Learning and how teachers can use this principle when designing lessons.

This lesson is an Apple technology integrated lesson designed to help students practice reading for accuracy, fluency and expression. Students will practice an perform a readers theater or choral reading of their choice and record it with sound effects for a finished product.
