Let us look at Bloom's Taxonomy, revised for modern technologies. You can find the article that goes with this diagram here: http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/Bloom's+Digital+Taxonomy

Bloom's digital taxonomy

None of the activities in the above diagram are specifically mathematical. Your task is to name two math activities for each level in the taxonomy, and to explain (in one or two sentences) why they belong to the level, and what technology (if any) you would use.

For example...

Creating. Design your own "function machine" that turns one number into another number. For example, the machine can double the number and then add 5 to it. This is Creating because you design your own math formulas. 

Applying. Program the rule for your function machine using some computer software, so that it gives results for the numbers you type in. This is Applying because you need to execute the math design and programming. I would use spreadsheet software or Scratch for this task with students.
