Problem-Solving Tasks
| Name |
Description |
| Equivalent Expressions?: | Students are asked to determine if two expressions are equivalent and explain their reasoning. |
| Miles to Kilometers: | In this task students are asked to write two expressions from verbal descriptions and determine if they are equivalent. The expressions involve both percent and fractions. This task is most appropriate for a classroom discussion since the statement of the problem has some ambiguity. |
