Projects & Rubrics
Scoring rubrics assess student performance based on various criteria, including accuracy, reasoning, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Student Engagement
The real problem is changing the behavior the students have towards math. We keep trying to think up a better math problem, and we think that if we put it in a textbook, that’ll fix it. What we really have to do is take a step back and ask: ‘How do we engage students differently about mathematics?
