Students in Grade 6 math recently engaged in a thinking task which, centered around a story about Polly and Rowena sharing peanuts and raisins in a trail mix . Students were presented with information and a demonstration; they were then tasked with determininng if Polly ended up with more of Rowena's raisins or if Rowena ended up with more of Polly's peanuts. Through the exploration of this logic problem, students were encouraged to break the larger problem down into a more manageable replication of the experiement, which is a strategy they will be able to apply in future tasks. Additionally, students recorded their findings, thinking about which structure may best fit the scenario. The image shows that this individual represented their findings in a table.

Great job, grade 6 mathematicians, on persevering through this challenge!
