Nine task based strategies for dealing with diversity while offering
experiences covering common content
![Page 2: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Common to all 9 approaches• Building classroom community• Task based, considering the trajectory of tasks
(what comes next!)• Explicit pedagogies• Different ways of solving the tasks, and the
different approaches are themselves educative• Representing solutions in different ways is
both engaging and important mathematically
![Page 3: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What these approaches are not!
• Asking questions that are so easy that everyone can do them
• Setting up groups that allow some students to hide
• Excessive repetition (of course, some is needed)
• …

Strategy 1
• Asking questions with multiple entry points and multiple exit points
• Such questions will nearly always be open-ended
![Page 5: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Write a sentence with 5 words, with the mean of the number of letters in the words being 4. Do not use any words of 4 letters.
![Page 6: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Draw some rectangles with a perimeter of 20 cm. Work out the area of each of your rectangles.
![Page 7: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A set of 36 cubes is arranged to form a rectangular prism.
What might the rectangular prism look like?
What is the surface area of your prisms?
![Page 8: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Strategy 2
• Using enabling and extending prompts• These apply to any type of challenging task
![Page 9: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Suppose we posed this task:
Seven people went fishing. The mean number of fish they caught was 5, the median was 4 and the mode was 3. How many fish might each of the people have caught? (Give at least 3 answers)
![Page 10: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Some enabling prompts
• Seven people went fishing. The median number of fish caught was 4. How many fish might each of the people have caught?
• Seven people went fishing. The mode number of fish they caught was 3. How many fish might each of the people have caught?
![Page 11: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What are enabling prompts?• Enabling prompts can involve slightly varying an
aspect of the task demand, such as – the form of representation, – the size of the numbers, or – the number of steps,
so that a student experiencing difficulty, if successful, can proceed with the original task.
• This approach can be contrasted with the more common requirement that such students – listen to additional explanations; or – pursue goals substantially different from the rest of the
class.
![Page 12: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Extending prompt
• Seven people went fishing. The mean number of fish they caught was 5, the median was 4, the mode was 3, and the range is 6. How many fish might each of the people have caught? (Give all possible answers)
![Page 13: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What might be enabling and extending prompts for these tasks?

• … how long would your tongue be if you were a chameleon?
![Page 27: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In what ways are the arch at St Louis and the Sydney Harbour Bridge similar to or different from a parabola, circle, ellipse, hyperbola, sine curve, catenary?
The school is considering building an arch over the front gate. What curve would you recommend? Write the equation (using actual measurements) for your curve.
![Page 28: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Strategy 4:

![Page 29: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Some examples
• Read the last question first. What do you need to learn to be able to do that question? Which of the earlier questions look like they might help?
• Work in pairs. One of you does the odd questions. The other does the even ones. Then each of you can explain your working to the other.
• In what ways are the questions different from each other?
![Page 30: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Strategy 5
• Asking questions that emphasise connections and are challenging (but at the right level for the curriculum)
![Page 31: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• At the end of the season, the coach noticed that the mean and median of the number of goals kicked by the 20 players was 10. He also noticed that ¼ of the players kicked less than 5 goals, ¼ of the players kicked 5 or more but less than 10, ¼ of the players kicked 10 or more but less than 15, and ¼ of the players kicked 16 or more. How many goals might each of the players have kicked?

To give us something to discuss
• On a train, the probability that a passenger has a backpack is 0.6, and the probability that a passenger as an MP3 player is 0.7.
• How many passengers might be on the train?• How many passengers might have both a
backpack and an MP3 player?• What is the range of possible answers for this?• Represent each of your solutions in two different
ways.

• Draw some closed shapes with 6 right angles• Draw a line 1 m long on this page• The perimeter of a rectangle is 20 cm. What might be
the area?• Draw (on squared paper) as many different triangles as
you can with an area of six square units• A number has been rounded off to 5.3. What might be
the number?

Strategy 6
• Creating task sequences where there is no expectation that all students can do the first one(s), but for which all can do the last one(s)
![Page 35: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
A “constructing” task
• In a tank there are 200 fish, 99% of which are guppies.
• How many guppies do I need to take out to end up with 98% guppies?
![Page 36: Common to all 9 approaches](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568163e6550346895dd5497c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
A consolidating task
• At the football there are 50 000 spectators, 55% of whom are Collingwood supporters.
• How many Collingwood supporters do I need to expel from the stadium to end up with 50% Collingwood supporters?

In turn, players roll a 10 sided die (numbered 0 to 9)
and, after each roll, write the number rolled in one of
the rectangles on their own board that looks like
. ÷ 0 .
The winner has the answer closest to 100 (for example).
