Three secondary teachers and a mathematics education researcher planned two lessons and revised them through lesson study. The teachers adapted the State Apportionment Task from the Mathematical Modeling Handbook (Sanfratello, 2012).

The classroom lesson presents students with the task of developing a fair--yet challenging--beanbag toss game.

This classroom lesson presents students with the job of designing a zoo, which could include modeling tasks ranging from choosing and locating the exhibits to setting the right admission prices.

The classroom lesson presents students with the task of developing an optimal design for a school playground.

This classroom lesson presents students with the task of designing a reading schedule to help them reach an overall (total word) reading goal for the year.
