A single worksheet often requires the creation of 10-20 questions, and original word problems don&#8217;t write themselves.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it all the more frustrating when <strong>we don&#8217;t get the student engagement we hoped for.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not a question of doing more<strong>. Transforming homework from simply &#8216;doing&#8217; mathematics to exploring and understanding it<\/strong> <strong>will result in more engaged students and more meaningful learning experiences<\/strong>. And it doesn&#8217;t have to cost you extra time.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can rethink the way you, and your students, approach mathematics homework for good.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:5%;padding-right:0%;padding-bottom:5%;padding-left:0%;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0%;margin-bottom:0%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-1{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Bring mathematics homework to life by linking it with the real world<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p><strong>A <em>phenomenal<\/em> homework activity focuses learning around a real-world mathematical phenomenon<\/strong>.

For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What can a snowflake teach us about symmetry?<\/li>\n<li>Why do bees use hexagons to structure their honeycombs?<\/li>\n<li>What are the world\u2019s tallest buildings?<\/li>\n<li>What\u2019s the golden ratio?
