Image of the Week: Ask the Question, How could you organize?

Ask the Question: How could you organize?

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: How could you organize? Organizing is the first step toward data science, because it helps us see the structure and patterns in data – even when that data is a collection of doughnuts or toy cars. Watch our How could you organize? video to see how data science grows naturally from this question and give one of these activities a try with your students tomorrow.

To multiplicity, cheers!
