Problem Solving Success

Grade 10s are working on making good strategies and presenting their thoughts clearly.

When given 4 points we try to determine the type of quadrilateral.  Sometimes a freehand sketch can give us enough information, other times we need to reach for a grid.

Other times Desmos is faster.

We then use our tools (calculating slopes and distances primarily) to work through whatever challenges we are given.

We are getting better at organizing our thoughts so we can check our work, and our peers can follow along.
