Rich Task Reflection

Through completing this assignment, I have learned a lot. I realized that there needs to be a lot more thought into planning "rich" activities. It was difficult to find an activity that included parts which would work for all different types of learners. Our task was the "How Big is Barbie?" activity. I really enjoyed working with this activity and changing it slightly to meet the needs for the assignment. I think that this is an activity I could definitely see myself implementing into my classroom one day.

I also greatly enjoyed the activities which the other groups presented. I think that the biggest thing which I learned through all of the presentations was that it is very important to run through the full activity before trying it in a classroom setting. There were some minor hiccups during all three of the activities that I think could have been fully avoided if we had all ran through the activities beforehand.
