Which of the following best describes an open-ended math problem?

• Has only one correct answer

• Can be solved in multiple ways

• Is used only for advanced students

• Has a fixed formula to follow

What is the main goal of using open-ended problems in the classroom?

• To get quick responses

• To test computation speed

• To develop higher-order thinking

• To standardize student outputs

In creating an open-ended problem, a teacher should first:

• Think of a student response

• Identify a math topic or concept

• Choose a random activity

• Ask students to make one up

• Content

• Process

• Attitudinal

• Analytical

Which of the following is NOT a feature of open-ended tasks?

• Soft words

• Asking for explanations

• Turning around a question

• Creating a sentence

What type of rubric assesses different components of a journal entry individually?

• Holistic

• Numerical

• Analytic

• Descriptive

"Compare two fractions with different denominators" is an example of:

• Closed-ended question

• Procedural prompt

• Open-ended task

• Binary response

A math journal entry where a student reflects on solving a difficult problem is an example of:

• Free writing

• Computational practice

• Group assessment

• Summative testing

Which of the following best shows a benefit of using journals in math education?
