They see new ways to solve and they remember those and add them to their own strategies. Students need to draw on their paper the new 4 pools that would be built or constructed. I will give students the time needed to accomplish this first task. Students will be instructed to work together if they need the help. I will monitor and insist during this activity.
Students can also use cut-out pool tile pieces to work out the problems.
Students will then work with partners to figure out the answer to the questions. These questions will allow students to show work and solve the algebraic formulas. The students will discuss and notice the patterns that are occurring. Teacher is monitoring and assisting during this work time. I get ideas and suggestions from students as I am drawing the graph.
