Purposeful, Transparent, Contextual, Building Expertise

Purposeful and Transparent It was a very purposeful and transparent lesson because the students knew exactly why they were doing the tasks. It was also during elections so we could transfer what we were learning to other "real-life" situations. Contextual The lesson was contextual because it arose out of a classroom conversation and helped to plan their Thanksgiving party. Building Expertise This task helped to build expertise in math computation, comparison, understanding graphing and enlarging their world view.
