Today is our last day and I posted the question "estimate how many post-its it will take to cover all four walls, the floor and the ceiling". Once they made their estimates and wrote them on a post-it (of course!), I gave them each a post-it and told them to figure it out using only a post-it as a measuring tool. They are having a blast and coming up with all kinds of creative ways to measure without a standard tool. I've had so much fun doing this kind of activity with these guys! My summer work is to figure out how to make these kinds of rich, engaging tasks manageable with a full class of average or below average students!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15712118522645595031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256375873271579383.post-18656233922057692132014-05-09T10:11:04.019-07:002014-05-09T10:11:04.019-07:00The link for act 2 isn't working for me.

It really gives time to work out how you would try to solve it, before you get the info.

I'm sure there's some type of algebraic application with constant number of post-its each row. Figure out the total using slope and a linear model? Create a linear model for each face of the cabinet? How many times would the front and side both end at the right edge? I'm sure there's something there!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699410662148629132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256375873271579383.post-44869681240236277142012-05-18T07:49:20.371-07:002012-05-18T07:49:20.371-07:00I am so sad that I am just finding your blog now. ...I am so sad that I am just finding your blog now.
