Homework Assignment #1: POW & Guideline Questions. Students must solve the math problem and answer the four questions.
Can You Get Here from There?
Here is a perplexing problem: Your friend is standing just 10 feet away from you. You ask her to move forward, covering half the distance that separates you. Then you ask her to do the same thing again. Has she reached you? How many feet has your friend covered? How many feet will she have covered by the time she has moved 10 times?
Repeat the problem with another friend and another distance. Use a distance greater than the first problem.
Answer to Question #1: (done as a class)
What is the puzzle about? Restate the
situation in your own words.
1. This puzzle is about finding out how a friend will
go from 10 feet to half the distance repeatedly. I
need to find out the distance after ten turns moving
halfway. I will have to use division to solve this puzzle.
I may use a chart to help me organize the information.
After I solve the puzzle of 10 feet, I have to make my
own puzzle with a different distance.
