Problem Solving -- Growing Shapes

In this problem solving activity, students were instructed to look at the growing cases and describe how they saw the shapes growing. After some struggle and brainstorming, students shared some of their idea(s) and gave the growth a name. A little more time will be given on Monday to complete this lab. We will then use this concrete example to investigate both the number pattern and constructing a table which then leads to writing algebraic expressions.

Students were given 10 minutes to answer 3 review questions about the four previous math labs.

There is no homework for tonight.
