How do we get our students engaged and excited to learn math again, while having the confidence that it will improve their learning outcomes?

Exemplars rich performance tasks for mathematics are intentionally written with engaging context and designed so that students may use a variety of problem-solving strategies.

Moving students from simply finding answers toward developing robust written solutions where students use representations to show their thinking, utilize math vocabulary to define their solution process, and provide organized calculations as proof of their conclusions creates the perfect opportunity for collaborative work, rich discourse, and student agency.
