What is a 3 Act Math Task?
A math problem told like a story Has three parts: beginning, middle, and end Helps us think deeply about math Makes math feel real and exciting

Act 1: The Hook
Watch or look at something interesting Ask: What do you notice? Ask: What do you wonder? Little To No Information Is Given!

Act 2: The Work
Watch or look at something interesting! Ask: What do you notice? Ask: What do you wonder? Little To No Information Is Given!

Act 3: The Reveal
{"left":"Share your solution and thinking\nCompare with the actual answer","right":"Discuss different strategies used\nReflect on what we learned"}

Always Remember This!
The journey of solving is just as important as getting the right answer! Every mathematician thinks differently Mistakes help us learn and grow our brains/minds!
