Did this with Year 7 and blew their minds... told them they could start from the left because we didn't need to borrow anymore... consternation!! So exciting to do something new in a framework they are so familiar with

Time for a deep dive into a pre-calculus problem that popped up in a middle school math teacher group today… “Janine bikes 3mph faster than her sister, Jessica. Janine can ride 36 mi in 2 hr less time than Jessica can ride the same distance. Find each of their speeds.”

Honestly, if all my teacher talked about was my first solution, I wouldn’t have been all that interested in this problem beyond that. What made it interesting to me was investigating and connecting different solution approaches, even misguided ones, to each other.

Discussing with other people and considering different ideas, that was the fun part (for me). Math can be social and collaborative, and, when it is, it can also be engaging in and of itself. At least, that’s the case from my perspective. I’d love to hear yours. (End thread)
