This course transformed my classroom teaching style from lecture/example setter to facilitator of math explorers. The assignments were relevant, practical and critical to student growth and higher level thinking skills. I'm leaving the class with tools I'm alreading implementing.

I am grateful for the focus of MAT-932 on enhancing critical thinking through challenging mathematical tasks. The practical strategies for promoting a culture of math tasks and the option to complete the course with or without students made it extremely valuable for my teaching approach. I am excited to incorporate the engaging mathematical tasks from MAT-932 into my classroom. The course has motivated me, and I am eager to use these strategies to improve my students' critical thinking skills. The practical knowledge I have gained is valuable and will have a positive impact on my teaching approach.

This course included the research-based and professional information that I needed to better understand the importance of teaching with rich problem-solving tasks in the math classroom. This course was very well organized, and each module included appropriate and relevant readings, videos and reflection activities. Because of this course, I have expanded my knowledge base about this topic and my repertoire of pedagogical tools and strategies. Thank you for providing this course and platform at an affordable price and for making it accessible (online) to all teachers.

It was nice that we had to actually implement a task and we saw the benefits. My students thanked me after the task. They said that it was easy and difficult at the same time. Even after they were done with the task they kept exploring and wanted to know more, this really motivates me to do then more often. I especially liked that I learned that tasks don't have to be complicated and difficult they can be easy and fun and if you don't give too much information they can become very challenging.

The math task sites provided in this class were awesome and I now have over 90 task that I can implement in my 5th grade classroom. Tasks are the best way to move students forward in their ability to solve problems. Thanks professor Reimer!!!
