Geometric thinking

Gillstrom/Davies (Gillies) numeracy group were given this problem. Students were asked to work through it with very little pre-teaching. 
We wanted to see how the students used prior knowledge, and also how they would be able to give reasons for their answers. We are trying to develop using mathematical language, and sharing ideas.


This is how we did...




We are looking forward to discussing why there were so many different answers!
