Developing Decision Makers with Menu Math
A sizeable chunk of a student’s experiences with school mathematics is devoted to describing and dissecting mathematical objects, but little time in classrooms is typically devoted to designing mathematical objects, tinkering with their make-up, and making sense of the fallout. In this session, we will explore Menu Math tasks that balance creative and flexible student action with a proficient manipulation of mathematical objects.
