The Playground Task asks students to find the point(s) that are equidistant from two schools where a playground may be built. There are different forms of the task—why would you pick each one? What do you expect your students to know for each? How will you keep students engaged, even when they struggle? Work the task, watch a video of implementation, and discuss how you will help all your students learn with this lesson.
