Abstract
Transforming the classroom environment into a space of expanding possibilities
requires learning experiences that challenge and expand learners’ understandings.
Building on Metz et al’s. (2015) suggestion to structure mathematical variation in
a responsive manner that keeps all students intrinsically engaged in deepening
their mathematical understanding, this paper describes different forms of bonus
questions generated by students, and how they were implemented.
