Have your child estimate the number of bands it will hold. What is too high? What is too low? Best guess?\

After all of you estimate, watch the video below to verify your estimates.\

"You have unwittingly stumbled into a duplicator lab..."

As you watch this brief, animated story about the duplicator lab - which includes 3 riddles - you may find yourself reaching for a piece of paper, a pencil, and an entirely new kind of strategy.

How challenging will it be to solve the riddles from inside of the duplicator lab?

Watch the video, answer the riddles, and post any comments you have below.

ALSO: I'm trying something brand new on my blog, which is to set up a way to deliver MY PERSONAL ANIMATED FILES which I'm using to tell the story directly to you. Not only can you use the video just as it is in your class, but you can also have the PowerPoint files delivered to you, so YOU can tell the story yourself.

Enjoy!

If you want to receive the PowerPoint files through email, just fill out this form. You'll receive the PowerPoint file I used and I'll also send you new updates as they appear.

Send Me the Duplicator Lab PowerPoint!

I'm going to send the answers separately so I don't give them away at the end of the PowerPoint. I want to preserve that vital space between the question and the answer.

When you are ready to see the answers, just fill out this form, and I'll send them right over to you. If you don' see it right away, remember to check to see if your email has filtered it out of your main email box. Enjoy!

I'm Ready To See The Answers!

I'm learning as I go, and I appreciate your support!

Here are some still frames of the first 6 duplication events. I recommend using the PowerPoint file, but this image might be a useful reference.

Also, I just wanted to send a note of appreciation to Jeremiah Ruesch, @mathkaveli who willingly dove into this challenge and provided me with feedback! Thanks, Jeremiah!

All my best,

Steve

P.S. There are now 105 free Splat Lessons that you can download from my blog.
The Fraction Splat Series! The Nested Splat Series!

All these activities focus on number, but we have grouped them below to help you find tasks on particular topics more easily.

These activities are part of our Primary collections, which are problems grouped by topic.

Organize Your Thinking

Mathematicians often talk about the importance of working systematically. This means that rather than working in a haphazard and random way, there is a methodical, organised and logical approach. The problems below will challenge you to work systematically and will help you appreciate the benefits of working in this way.

Scroll down to see our complete collection of Upper Primary problems, or explore the two sub-collections.

We also have a collection of Lower Primary problems that lend themselves to working systematically.

Primary teachers may like to read our article Encouraging Primary Children to Work Systematically.

These activities focus on finding all possible solutions so if you work in a systematic way, you won't leave any out.

These activities lend themselves to systematic working in the sense that it helps if you have an ordered approach.

Mathematicians try to work systematically so they can see how they worked something out, and see patterns which messy work might not reveal. Here's a selection of tasks where having good ways to sort and organise can be very helpful.
