Description

Open Middle Math Problems That Unlock Student Thinking, Grades 6-12 is an invaluable resource for teachers seeking to foster deeper understanding and lively discussion in their mathematics classrooms. Robert Kaplinsky's innovative approach to math problems encourages students to think critically and explore multiple solutions. The book showcases a range of sample problems, from fractions to algebra, trigonometry, and calculus, demonstrating the Open Middle concept where students are presented with a closed beginning and end, but an open middle that invites diverse approaches. Kaplinsky shares practical guidance on choosing problems, designing your own math tasks, and teaching for multiple purposes, including formative assessment and conceptual understanding. This book is an indispensable resource for educators looking to implement student-centered mathematics in middle and high schools, aligned with national and state standards.
