Here's a quick way to TURN 1 PROBLEM into 5 MORE- Ask yourself, "Where might this go next?" Let me show you an example...

Quines fraccions hi veus? 🖍️ 👉🏼 Pinta 2 seccions. Quina fracció representen? Quines altres fraccions són possibles? Quines impossibles? 🔍 I si pintes 3 seccions? I 4? I 5? 🔗 Material creat a partir del repte de @MathsCirclesOz

Mathematics and the Alhambra Palace.

Quant val cada figura? 🔍 👉🏼 El valor total del conjunt és 50 i no hi ha cap nombre més gran de 12. Quin podria ser el valor del trapezi vermell? Quin podria ser el valor més alt? I el més baix? 🔗 Proposta original de @MathsCirclesOz

There are 16 ways to divide a 3-by-3 array of dots into rectangles illustrating the distributive rule. Up to additive and multiplicative commutativity that gives 6 partitions of 3x3 as a sum of products. For 1x1 array: 1 For 2x2 array: 3 For 3x3 array: 6 4x4 array? 5x5?

7 prompts to strengthen observations & independent thinking in maths- (for less hand-holding, and greater confidence)

This is core to the craft of teaching.
