My way of handling that in class would be to say, "that certainly works so far... Let's see what happens when we get more data." <br /><br />I might follow that with "Now let's see how the rhyming pattern looks." and have the class call out the answers. The important thing is to leave the kids with the understanding that a problem can have more than one right answer but sometimes we can narrow it down with more information.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705408455380402571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976144462093297473.post-52131831428823553192012-12-27T02:55:16.527-05:002012-12-27T02:55:16.527-05:00For 2 I didn't think of anything mathematical....For 2 I didn't think of anything mathematical. My solution was to swap sides if the letter to be placed rhymed with the previous letter and stay the same side otherwise.<br /><br />Which would diverge from your answer at k.MPledgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845074140006920009noreply@blogger.com
