I listened to a video from the Recovering Traditionalist when she had an educator named Graham Fletcher do a webinar about 3 Act Math Tasks. It was fabulous! I learned a couple strategies for making my story problems more engaging such as covering the words with sticky notes and only showing the question. Ask kids what what they wonder and slowly reveal the words. Graham's 3 act math tasks start with a very short video. He suggests doing 1-3 3-act tasks during a math unit, including at the very beginning as an informal assessment. With the videos you ask students what they notice and what they wonder. Then you pose a question and start with estimating. I will definitely use his website as a resource and want to try one next week while we are in the middle of our place value unit!
