Reply To: Lesson 3-4: Discussion Prompt

I’ve always loved this type of problem that allows students multiple “right” answers or approaches. When I’ve taught high school functions in the past, I would start off the year with just printing a bunch of these for the whole class and they could draw all over them to figure out the next step or the algebraic equation (or the 57th step)… https://www.visualpatterns.org/

Kind of a combination of manipulatives (concrete) and multiple representations by having them draw all over the shapes with colored pencils/shade in and show the solution in whatever way they see it. Nice discussions too!
