Open-Ended Math Problems from The Franklin Institue. Open-Ended Math Problems This site is for the specific purpose of preparing Middle School students for OPEN-ENDED problem solving on standardized tests.
We have divided each month into the five strands from the Philadelphia math standards:Number Theory Measurement Geometry Patterns, Algebra, and Functions Data, Statistics, and Probability There are three levels of difficulty for each standard. We have written and chosen problems from different sources that lend themselves to more than one way of solving.
It is our hope that if these are done on a consistent, weekly basis, the students will feel more confident and comfortable at test time. CCSSMResources wiki. The Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP) must be assessed daily in our classrooms.
Solving rich tasks is the single most important vehicle for providing teachers this formative assessment data, all while maturing students as mathematicians. Use the following resources for achieving these goals. Rich Task Resources What are rich tasks? Why should I use them? NRICH. Teachers Primary Pupils Secondary Students Events and PD.
