Students make sketches on graph paper to compute the number of tiles are needed for the border of square pools with given side dimensions. They describe the pattern they notice (if any). Students discuss the strategies they used, and look for a way to determine the number of tiles if they don't know the length of sides (algebraic equation). Full Review »
