Modern Math Tasks to Provoke Transformational Thinking, Grades 9-12
Suzanne Harper; Dana Cox
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
Modernizing mathematics refers to the idea that teachers should rethink how mathematics has traditionally been taught in schools by making rich tasks and collaboration the focus of instruction and promoting opportunities for active learning. "Modern Math Tasks to Provoke Transformational Thinking" presents carefully crafted tasks that nurture multi-disciplinary literacies. These innovative tasks bridge the gap between traditional siloed education and daily real-world problems. By emphasizing mathematical modeling, data analysis, and cross-disciplinary thinking, they empower students to tackle complex issues and become global citizens ready to shape a brighter future.
