Size 8 Sphinx 8. Recording Ask students to put the heading Sphinx and the date in their workbook. They can draw the original Sphinx shape on triangle dot paper and cut and paste it. What We Found Out , students paste the drawing they have made of the Size 2 Sphinx, followed by their explanation of how the investigation proceeded from there. Under the sub-heading Summary draw up this table and ask students to copy it and fill in the blanks.
Experience shows that many children continue the table to at least the next level.
Many teachers have these displayed on a chart in their room. Ask students to identify which steps in the lesson corresponded to which components of the process. Posing A New Problem Refer to the earlier question about the existence of a Size 3 Sphinx. Ask the students if they could predict how many Size 1 shapes would be needed to make it if it did exist. Set as a homework challenge the task of making a Size 3 Sphinx.
