The numeracy team is attempting to record our journey of working with the school-wide numeracy prompt electronically. We will be using this platform to try and create a school-wide Bansho of student work from KG to Grade 8. We are hoping that you can post a couple of samples of student work in the tags appropriate to your students. This will create a landscape of learning/trajectory for student thinking in the context of this problem which can then be used in other problem-solving contexts in your classrooms or even for co-creating criteria in other math contexts.
School Success Goal
If we teach students to visualize in numeracy (both the question and their solution) then students will be better able to communicate their thinking in Numeracy.
Task
KG: Chocolate bars have pieces. How many pieces are in this chocolate bar (12 linking cubes attached)? Can you design a chocolate bar that looks different but has the same number of pieces?
GRADE 1: Rearrange a chocolate bar, 32 or 16 cubes long in a different shape.
GRADE 2: How many possible ways can you make a rectangular prism using 16 or 32 linking cubes? How many units of wrapping would each rectangular prism need?
GRADE 3: Use 36 linking cubes to create rectangular prisms. What is the best way to package the chocolate using the least amount of packaging?
GRADE 4-8: You have 36 linking cubes which represent the total volume of a chocolate bar. The Eco team would like to use as little as possible wrapping to create minimal waste. Your task is to work with the 36 linking cubes to find all possible formats for the chocolate bar in order to reduce waste. For shipping and storage purposes, the final product must be in the form of a rectangular prism.
