Below you will find the "Ice Cream Scoops" task.
Today we worked on the "Beehives" task attached below. I saw some truly inspiring group work on this problem, with at least 4 correct solution strategies. I look forward to seeing some of these incredible solutions in the larger report.
Report is due This Friday. For more details, see my previous post. Also find the full rubric below. A "4" on the rubric corresponds to excellence (A level), a "3" is mostly correct (B or B+ level), a "2" is on the right track (D+ to C- level) and a "1" is incomplete. |

You can find a link to all 3 acts of the tasks at this link. The original question is "How many pennies is that?"
Possible extension questions:
-How much does the pyramid weigh? Compare to other heavy objects for context.
-If you had 1,000,000,000 pennies, how big of a pyramid could you make?
-Spend some time going through the pages of http://www.kokogiak.com/megapenny/nine.asp and explain what you learn there
You can find the 3 Acts of Hot coffee if you click this link. The original question was: "How many gallons of coffee is that?"
Possible extensions include:
-How many hours did it take to fill the whole thing?
-If you wanted to triple the world record, what kind of cup would you build?
-How many regular cups of coffee is that?
-How much paint would it take to paint the outside of the cup?
-How much does it weigh?
Over the next week, we will be tackling open-ended problems that provide authentic problem solving experiences. Here, I will deposit all the resources necessary for the tasks. After each task, I will make a post specific to that task.
3-Act Task Template: You will fill one of these out for each task.

After doing several of these tasks, you will pick one that you are proud of to type up into a detailed report of professional quality. The report will be due Next Friday. I have provided an outline which gives specific details. To be complete, the report must include an extension. The reports will be graded on the 4-point scale found under the "Grades" section of this website.
