(And I'm gonna suggest to my class that since I brought them the lesson- they should bring me the pizza):)<br /><br />EricEric Biederbeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109388683824983366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964889903484807623.post-60402870558938832942010-05-04T05:30:48.906-07:002010-05-04T05:30:48.906-07:00I'll be borrowing this lesson - timed perfectl...I'll be borrowing this lesson - timed perfectly, in fact, for Friday. I'd have to find a local version as we use cms rather than inches down under in Australia.<br /><br />I did something similar for Decimals a while ago. In that problem-solving group activity, I incorporated non-mathematical questions - e.g. eating out vs eating in. In real life, we make choices not often logical from a financial perspective.<br /><br />For your lesson, I'll make similar adaptations, e.g. why would you choose personal vs large? The process of justification is an important life lesson as well as good mathematical thinking, ie reasoning, in an abstracted way.<br /><br />thanks again.Malynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817938355737942929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964889903484807623.post-73934689390847173652010-05-03T20:26:27.061-07:002010-05-03T20:26:27.061-07:00Ian

They were similar, but each class definitely had it's own focus. <br /><br /><b>Matt</b><br />Oh, was <i>I</i> supposed to bring the pizza? After teaching the lesson on Thursday, I took my family out. Does that count?<br /><br /><b>Sue</b><br />Glad it helped. I really enjoyed this lesson.David Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277427735527075341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964889903484807623.post-62793315433472433512010-04-28T21:05:05.674-07:002010-04-28T21:05:05.674-07:00I've done this from the textbook, and told too...I've done this from the textbook, and told too much.

I'll probably give it a spin in my class tomorrow :)Ian Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341799543149813616noreply@blogger.com
