Abstract | The topics of decimals and polygons were taught to two classes by using challenging tasks, rather than the more conventional textbook approach. Students were given a pre-test and a post-test. A comparison between the two classes on the pre- and post-test was made. Prior to teaching through challenging tasks, students were surveyed about their mindset in regards to mathematics and how they think they learn best. They were surveyed again at the completion of the project to see if there were any changes. (As Provided). |
