Abstract
As the ideas of how best to educate students have evolved, the ideas behind creating engaging math tasks have also changed. Luckily, there has been a significant amount of research on how to develop good math tasks. This paper describes several characteristics of engaging math tasks and justifies each characteristic with research. Then, three example tasks are provided with these characteristics in mind. One task is created for Geometry, one task is created for Algebra 1, and one task is created for Algebra 2.
