  • Participants will solve, create, & score open-ended problems. We will show how to take traditional textbook problems and transform them into open-ended ones. We will discuss how these types of problems can be used to differentiate mathematics instruction and challenge all learners while meeting the Common Core's Standards for Mathematical Practice.
