Step 1 – Discover a MathCityMap trail
Before the planned lesson on creating tasks, you should familiarize your students with the idea of MathCityMap.
Have them walk a math trail and collect their impressions of the tasks.
Step 2 – Changing perspectives and organizational issues
Then change perspective with them: Discuss the idea of creating individual tasks and a joint math trail as a class product.
Further clarify what your students’ objectives will be in the tasks: Should the tasks be modeling tasks, for example? Is the math trail intended for a specific target group, such as younger students? Or is it to be created for a special event, such as the upcoming school festival? How many tasks should be created?
It is advisable to clarify these questions beforehand in order to agree on the type of tasks, topics, and target group. You may also want to provide your learners with guidance on creating tasks.
