Sky Scrapers problem

Grade 9s started today with a problem to solve.

On the cards is a grid, a city plan. Each row and column can have one building of each height (1 floor, 2 floors, 3 floors, 4 floors). On each side of the plan is a number which tells how many buildings are visible from that position.

We developed good strategies to solve the logic problem, and worked on our group collaboration and speaking in French.

Sometimes it seemed really tough to get started. There are many perspectives to consider!

We worked together and found that each of the different puzzle boards could be solved using a similar method. Some perseverance was definitely required!
