[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want things that show creative thinking and high level thinking. Things that don't have a right or wrong answer. We used questions like "Why is zero important" or "Write an original problem using any 5 numbers where the mean is 12. Explain why knowing the mean is important in your data set" or "Why is poetry important?" or "What do you know about the number 66?" or "Can one person influence the world? Explain" or "The answer is 80, what is the question if you must use 9 in the question?" or "Write an original word problem where the rounded answer would be 40. Explain why people round numbers" or "Adam solved 8 + 3 X 6/9-5 and got the answer 28. Is his answer correct? Explain." or "My calculator does not have a 5 key that works. How can I use my broken calculator to multiply 33 X 85?" or "Among 1   2   6   8   and   12, choose a number which is different from the others and explain why it is different. See if you can come up with something different for as many of the numbers as possible"

We've also done lots of art work, creative writing samples, etc.... I have 4 kids who all got into AAP on the first round and all were in pool. Of course you can't use my examples or you will look crazy. However, I wanted to show you how simple the questions can be and what they want to see is HOW your child thinks. [/quote]

You’re crazy…seriously [/quote]

Possibly an overly-thorough response by the pp but I don’t think she’s crazy for explaining w examples how to demonstrate your child’s thought processes through work samples. These kinds of questions are exactly the samples school submitted for my child from class lessons w/ the AART. . [/quote]
