This is a reflection I’m still thinking about from Lesson 1. As I see the representation come up again as we move forward, I am wondering if we should stay away from it altogether when using an image of a glass. The images show glasses with powdered chocolate mix in the bottom, then that chocolate mix is partitioned into 3 parts. However, they are not equal parts as the glass gets wider as it gets taller. Having watched other modules, I am wondering what your thoughts are on this accuracy in our picture to represent our thinking. The circles inside the glasses are all of equal size, so there will be no confusion there. What do you think?
