- Summary:
- This book offers a new class of tasks designed to stimulate deeper thinking and lively discussion among middle and high school students. The problems have a closed beginning and end, meaning they start and end with the same problem and solution, but the middle is "open" with multiple ways to approach and ultimately solve the problem. These tasks help teachers assess and deepen student understanding, build student stamina, and energize their classrooms.
