An interview would allow the teacher to ask targeted questions to the student and gain insight into their thought process, mental strategies, and understanding. This can provide valuable information for the teacher to inform their instruction and support the student's learning. A problem-based task may provide multiple solutions and use a variety of tools, but may not necessarily give insight into the student's thought process or understanding. Making connections between mathematics and real life and opportunity to reteach and confront misconceptions can be achieved through both interviews and tasks.
