Students often think additively rather than multiplicatively. For example, if you present the scenario, "One puppy grew from 5 pounds to 10 pound. Another puppy grew from 100 pounds to 108 pounds." and ask, "Which puppy grew more?" someone who is thinking additively will say that the one who now weighs 108 grew more because he gained 8 pounds while the other gained 5 pounds. Someone who is thinking multiplicatively will say that the one that now weighs 10 pounds grew more because he doubled his weight while the other only added a few pounds. While both are correct answers, multiplicative thinking is needed for proportional reasoning. If your students are thinking additively, you can nudge them toward multiplicative thinking with this activity.

Critical Thinking is important in all areas of life. Math is not an exception. I believe that it is important to teach students to think “outside the box” in mathematics.

In this series of lessons:
Students will learn to observe and note details of sequential patterns and then a math problem.

Students will begin to think critically as they approach a math word problem.

Prior Knowledge:
Students should have a knowledge of basic mathematics: fractions through percents.
Students should be familiar with algebraic equations.

The purpose of this task is to identify the structure in the two algebraic expressions by interpreting them in terms of a geometric context. Students will have likely seen this type of process before, so the principal source of challenge in this task is to encourage a multitude and variety of approaches, both in terms of the geometric argument and in terms of the algebraic manipulation.
