Rich Task Reflection

I enjoyed all three of the rich task lessons. The first activity with the coins is definitely something I would use if I teach math to younger students. These sticks with coins could be used in many different ways by altering the activity to have it coordinate with a slightly different math task. The second activity with the surface area measurement was a very cute idea. I could definitely see the students getting engaged and enjoying the math activity. I thought the Barbie activity was a great way to show students how to scale up an item by using ratios and rates. Overall, all three had many positives to only one or two negatives. These would be great activities to incorporate into math classrooms for students to be engaged in math.
