How Many Will There Be? Desks
Objective
Students will use the patterns they find in the first four steps to predict the 100th step.
Inspired by the website Visual Patterns.
Steps
- Students will look for patterns and then predict how many seats there will be at step ten.
- Next, they predict how many seats they'll have at 100 desks!
- I reveal the answer (402) and propose an extension involving non-rectangular desks.
