Working individually again, students should now determine the average monthly costs for Phones 2 and 3 over the same two-year period. All other things being equal (that phrase is worth discussion!), this should allow them to decide which phone is the best deal for a two-year plan. (This is problem 4 on the handout, if you're using it.)

Since the calculations for Phones 2 and 3 are structurally the same as the ones just completed for Phone 1, this section provides a quick formative assessment for the teacher. In most cases, I think you'll find that almost everyone can easily reason through the problem, but creating an equation is much more difficult. This means that almost all students can see that the total cost is the device cost plus 24 times the monthly cost, and they know that if they divide this by 24 they'll get the average. But for some reason, you'll find that many students make serious mistakes if they try to first write an equation. In this case, encourage them to stop, think it through first, and then try to capture in an equation what they're actually doing.

As individual students finish their cost comparison, encourage them to quietly check with their classmates. Are they in agreement on the cheapest phone? Did they come up with the same average monthly rates? If not, it's crucial to figure out what went wrong!

Once everyone's on board, it's time to move to the next section of the lesson.
