Reflections
We have come to trust that, given appropriate starting points, students will come up with all the mathematical questions we would want from a context. We have also realised, as we get more experienced in working with these tasks, that we are able to notice and hear more and so students seem to get further and into more complex issues each year. We find working in this way students become enthused and motivated by studying mathematics, and learn to view it as a subject which makes sense and over which they have control.
