This number challenge is an opportunity to reinforce mental arithmetic and order of operations while developing systematic work habits. Students are asked to use the numbers 4, 6, 6, and 8 (exactly once each) and the four basic operations to find as many ways as they can to represent the number 24. There are over 60 different ways! The Teachers' Notes page includes suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, ideas for support, and a link to a related article, Opening Out. (cataloged separately).

This three-act math task utilizes videos and questioning to help students explore multiplication and division beyond 1000.

This lesson uses iMovie and Pages to solidify student understanding of math problem-solving. It is tied to problem solve at a 2nd-grade level or higher for kids with learning deficits, specifically designed to help students who have IEP goals related to math word problems and solving math problems related to the four basic arithmetic operation.

Students will go through the writing process to create a video that shows a multistep word problem.

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 three-act math task utilizes videos and questioning to help students explore multiplication and division within 1000.
