Comparing High School Examples

• Menu Math¹  by Nat Banting“A Math Menu is a collection of constraints that appear as an unordered list generally about 6-10 constraints long. Each menu prescribes a type of mathematical object that needs to be designed to satisfy these constraints. That object could be a certain type of function (as was the original idea), an expression, a shape, a number, etc.”
• Clothesline math² allows students to compare using number lines. This includes integers, rational numbers, radicals, radian measure, etc.
• Linear Marbleslides³

  

• Exponential Marbleslides⁴

  

• Students compare visual patterns⁵
