Image of the Week: Ask the Question, Which is more?

Ask the Question: Which is More?

We have hundreds of Look-Think-Talk activities on our website and one way to find just what you’re looking for is by focusing on the central mathematical question you will ask students to think about. Each question can lead to different kinds of big ideas, and in this series of videos we’ll share with you what opportunities posing a particular question can open up. We encourage you to explore new questions you can ask to get into deep mathematical discussions.

This week, we focus on the question: Which is more? This question asks students to compare, sometimes by counting and sometimes by estimating, depending on the image. Watch our Which is more? video to see a range of activities and big ideas that can come from this question and give one of these activities a try with your students tomorrow.

To multiplicity, cheers!
