Secondary Math: Whole-Class Situational Problems

Friday November 20, 2026 9:00am - 3:00pm EST

200-School Board: Room 32A @ 235 Mnt Lesage, Rosemère, QC J7A 4Y6, Canada

This workshop introduces a new style of situational problem designed to get students up, thinking, and engaging with each other’s work. These whole-class tasks feature shared goals or constraints that encourage collaboration while preventing copying, creating a space for meaningful mathematical discussion and problem-solving. Students typically work bell to bell with high levels of focus and participation. In this session, we’ll explore the tasks already available, preview ones currently in development, and offer frameworks for designing your own. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience one of these problems firsthand, thereby gaining a better understanding of how they unfold in real time.
