The Checkerboard Problem


Today we discussed the advantages of working within a group and began our first challenge in a partnership: the checkerboard problem.

How many squares are in a standard checkerboard?

We made a K-W-C table of what we
1) KNOW for sure
2) WANT to find out
3) Any special CONDITIONS

HW: Work on the Checkerboard Problem for 20 minutes and have an idea or strategy to share with your partner in class tomorrow. You are not expected to solve the problem, simply try out 1 or more strategies for 20 minutes and notice what worked and what did not.
