Abstract	Every student has mathematical strengths beyond knowing basic facts, solving problems quickly, or showing work clearly. In this article, the author presents Smiles as an "on-ramp" task that supports students working together by unveiling and leveraging mathematical strengths. Nielsen describes on-ramp mathematics tasks as scaffolds that support students in solving more challenging problems. Smiles is a puzzle for groups to assemble and solve a mathematics problem together. As an on-ramp task, it allows students to access previous knowledge, apply their strengths, and practice working with peers "before" solving the main task. Smiles taps into a variety of strengths, including reasoning, arithmetic, tracking information, patterning, and applying previously learned concepts. (ERIC).
