Objective
Students will find multiple solutions to a single math statement by filling in the blanks.
You can certainly stop after Step One, but the second and third steps encourage students to move higher up Bloom's Taxonomy.
Fill-in-the-blanks idea inspired by the folks at Open Middle
Steps
- First, students look for as many possible solutions as they can find.
- Then they explain why there are so few odd numbers in the dividend of the solutions.
- I explain the main reasons why there are so few odds.
