This activity is designed to determine the appropriate instructional level for a student in a one-on-one interaction with the teacher.

This activity is designed to determine the appropriate instructional level for a student in a one-on-one interaction with the teacher.

In this assessment in a one-to-one setting, a student is shown the numbers from 1Đ10, one number at a time, in random order. The teacher asks, Ňwhat number is this?"

This assessment task can be used with a single student or a small group of students. Each student needs his or her own set of numeral cards.

This assessment may be used in a small group or whole group setting, give each student a piece of paper. Students who have trouble writing certain numbers can then get targeted practice.

In this real world problem students solve questions based on the relationship between production costs and price.

This task provides a real world context for interpreting and solving exponential equations. There are two solutions provided for part (a). The first solution demonstrates how to deduce the conclusion by thinking in terms of the functions and their rates of change. The second approach illustrates a rigorous algebraic demonstration that the two populations can never be equal.

This series of word problems requires students to apply the concepts of factors and common factors in a context.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with a multi-step problem involving volume and to give them a chance to discuss the difference between exact calculations and their meaning in a context.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with a concrete situation they can model by dividing a whole number by a unit fraction.

This real world task requires students to answer questions about equations for calculating compound interest.

This task asks students to use similarity to solve a problem in a context that will be familiar to many, though most students are accustomed to using intuition rather than geometric reasoning to set up the shot.

The purpose of this task is to help students understand what is meant by a base and its corresponding height in a triangle and to be able to correctly identify all three base-height pairs.

This task could be put to good use in an instructional sequence designed to develop knowledge related to students' understanding of linear functions in contexts. Though students could work independently on the task, collaboration with peers is more likely to result in the exploration of a range of interpretations.

This task involves a fairly straightforward decaying exponential. Filling out the table and developing the general formula is complicated only by the need to work with a fraction that requires decisions about rounding and precision.

This task describes two linear functions using two different representations. To draw conclusions about the quantities, students have to find a common way of describing them. We have presented three solutions (1) Finding equations for both functions. (2) Using tables of values. (3) Using graphs.

This task presents a simple but mathematically interesting game whose solution is a challenging exercise in creating and reasoning with algebraic inequalities. The core of the task involves converting a verbal statement into a mathematical inequality in a context in which the inequality is not obviously presented, and then repeatedly using the inequality to deduce information about the structure of the game.

In this card game students play in pairs to practice recognizing the biggest number.
