Open-ended action plans

This week in my course, we read Enhancing Equity in the Classroom by teaching for mathematical creativity. What struck me the most was how we are so focused on content, and we leave little room for fun. I recalled the Fermi problems that my instructor would give us in my "Teaching for Maths" Course during my teacher training, and about how my school is encouraging teachers to do bell-ringers or use our "block rotation time" for non-curriculum learning or revision. It made me think that this could help build risk-taking. However, since I am not teaching this year but rather I'm in a coaching role, I thought about how I could support this. Then I decided to have a little fun with Gemini and see if it could help me create a fun infographic and generator for these types of questions.

Check it out below and let me know what you think.

Do you think the AI question generator provided engaging and useful questions?

• Yes
• No
