Open Ended Math Questions
Teacher: Natasha Olivier
School: Walter Aseltine School –
Grade 4
Outcomes:
*Can be adapted to fit any and all Math outcomes*
*For every unit in Math I gave students a problem that did not have one right
answer, but many possible answers.
*Students were given a question on Monday and given time to research information
over the week.
*On Friday, the students were put into groups to discuss their findings. As a group
they needed to decide what information did they think made the best sense to use
for the problem.
*The group presented their answer to the class and explained why their group
chose to answer the question in the way that they did.
