Using Open Applet Tasks to Support Discussion of Area Measurement

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

In this session, I present an open task intended to support 3-5 grade students in their thinking about area, its measurement, and their development of formulas for measurement of area. The task is available as a free online applet. Participants will engage in the task. I present several potential student strategies. Participants will discuss Selecting, Sequencing, and Connecting practices for productive discussion following Stein and Smith’s (2011) 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Math Discussions.
