Appreciating Different Approaches

There are a number of different ways in which you, as the teacher, might use NRICH solutions as part of the lesson itself and these are outlined in our Celebrating Solutions Feature.  

The tasks below have published solutions which reflect different ways to approach it.  Having tried a task for themselves, you could then share the published solutions with your class and ask learners, for example:

• Which was like yours?
• Find something you like in one of the others.  Why do you like it?
• Which solution do you think is most elegant?  Why?
• If you were given another task like this in the future, would you change the way you solved it?  Why or why not?
