I have attached the slide show that I used to present my problem. The original textbook problem is the last slide. When I presented to my 3rd hour class, I realized that I had not given them enough information to be successful. It only caused confusion, so I changed a few slides and the other three classes did much better. I really like this method of teaching, but it takes so long; I’m hoping that it is because the students aren’t as used to it as they could be.
It did grab all my students attention, and it was a great “low floor, high ceiling” problem. I just ran out of time and will have to continue tomorrow.
I will definitely try this again.
