Challenge Task: I explored the Tile Circle task. Here is how I think each part of the task aligns with the curiosity path.
-
Withholding Information
-
Students do not know how many square tiles it would take to go across the circle through the center.
-
Anticipation
-
Students are shown through a video, gif, or still image how many times the number of square tiles that are needed to go through the center of the circle can be wrapped around the circle.
-
Notice and Wonder
-
Students notate notices and wonders as they watch a video from the point of view of someone entering a building leading to a circle on the main entrance that is outlined with small square tiles.
-
Estimation
-
Students are asked to estimate the number of square tiles that outline the circle on the floor.
