This document discusses integrating higher-order thinking skills into middle and high school math classes. It provides examples of how students can demonstrate conceptual understanding through creating their own math problems and solutions using digital tools like videos, posters, and animations. The document advises that teachers allow students to struggle productively, explore concepts, and create multiple representations of their understanding in order to develop higher-order thinking skills beyond just memorizing steps. Special thanks are given to a teacher who has implemented these strategies in their classroom.
