Dan Meyer introduced us to the idea of “open middle” problems during his presentation on “Video Games & Making Math More Like Things Students Like” by explaining what makes them unique:
- they have a “closed beginning” meaning that they all start with the same initial problem.
- they have a “closed end” meaning that they all end with the same answer.
- they have an “open middle” meaning that there are multiple ways to approach and ultimately solve the problem.

Robert Kaplinsky has compiled a website full of amazing resources to create your own engaging activities. Here is a sample of one I did for my 6th Grade math students. You will want to view the Kaplinsky video first. All the materials you will need (videos, images, lesson pdf) are available for each "real life" situation.

Each day of the school year I present my students with an estimation challenge. I love helping students improve both their number sense and problem solving skills. I'd like to share the estimation challenges with you and your students.

Hooda Math is a collection of online games that is sorted by grade and category. The students can go online and play on their own or you can create a class and organize a set of games that you want them to work with. When you set up your own class, you will be given a class code that the students will use to "unlock" the activities you have selected for them. I do recommend this so you can filter through which games your students will need.
