3 Act Tasks

The following SMART Notebook files will need to be downloaded before you are able to preview.  Files include everything you need--links to video problems, questions to guide discussion, as well as the problem solution. The tasks that were created by others can be found on their blogs if you just prefer access to the videos. I am slowly adding Google slides versions for some of these tasks, too.  TO FIND THESE TASKS, CLICK HERE.

To learn more about 3 Act Tasks, read this blog post by Dan Meyers.

Student Recording Sheet/Problem Solving page: A version of this page is also in the Notebook document, but you may want students to complete it as you work through the problem. They come from Graham Fletcher, and he has multiple versions.
