As an ongoing in our class we are going to take up rich mathematical problems to develop our problem solving skills. We are going to work collaboratively to think like mathematicians, gather data, ask questions, make conjectures, and prove our thinking.
Below are the first two problems that we worked through. At home talk about:
- What challenges did you run into?
- What helped you make sense of the problem?
- Can you explain your thinking about this problem so far?
1) From the author (and mathematician) Lewis Carroll
If 6 cats can catch 6 rats in 6 minutes. How many cats do you need to catch 100 rats in 50 minutes?
