Description: Part of conceptually understanding a topic in math is being able to apply algorithms and procedures to open ended problems. Dan Meyer is a leader in the field of giving students well though-out, open ended problems to promote conceptual understanding. He uses the concept of “3 Acts” to a problem meaning progressively more specific questions as you go through each act and then other teachers can add questions to the “sequel.” The link above will take you to a google doc that Dan Meyer has created that lists links to many of these “3 Act” problems.
