Problem of the Week #9

 All problems are now on my new site: https://cognitivecardiomath.com/free-resource-center/

It's 2016. That blows my mind. So many new ideas to think about, so many new things to try, so many hopes for the year! I hope the year will be good for you all!

This week's problem requires students to search for how many different combinations are possible for a password....can be challenging, depending on your students' background!

I hope you'll give it a try - if you do, please let me know how it goes! We have spent many days this school year giving our students the opportunity to "struggle" a bit with problems like these, and this had lead to great discussion, among the students AND the teachers.

Have a great Monday!

At that time I had one child (who was 2 when I started teaching), so I didn't have the experience from a parent's point of view of making sure I was getting my kids to their activities, getting done all the house-related things, and also making sure they were getting their homework done. This made it a little difficult for me to relate to the students' situations, but I tried to help them think about how much time they did have to do their work. Being involved in activities definitely reduces time for schoolwork, but it doesn't mean t...
