Students have been working on representing numbers in math. Yesterday I gave the class the following question to do in partners: Choose two different numbers. Which number is greater?

Students then decided what made those solutions awesome and we listed the criteria for an awesome solution:
During our next math period, I will give students the same question and they will try and provide an awesome solution using the above criteria. |
