Description In this assignment, you will choose one of the Algebra tasks given below and use a rubric to analyze the task. This rubric is the result of a framework connecting higher level tasks with the perspectives of culturally relevant teaching, thus refining the descriptions of two of the categories presented by Smith and Stein as (a) procedures with connections to concepts, meaning and understanding of mathematics, culture and community, and (b) doing mathematics for the purpose of becoming empowered intellectually, culturally, politically and socially. These two renamed classifications are given for the purpose of having teachers of mathematics rethink the extent to which selected mathematics tasks challenge students to ask relevant questions of themselves and the world around them (Matthews, Jones, and Parker, 2013).
