Today at the AIW Statewiide Kick-off in eastern Iowa, a middle school math teacher asked this question. Thanks in advance for your ideas and comments!
Is there a resource that has ready-made higher order problems available for teachers to supplement or even replace traditional math curriculum?
Note: in particular, today's problem was trying to get sutdents to understand the relationship between scale-size and area, as well as how scale-size applies in a real world setting.
