Pattern Recognition: Problem Solving Strategy 2

All tables at a school are equilateral triangles and can sit three students, one on each side. If two tables are joined, four students can sit. If three tables are joined, then five students can sit, and so on. How many tables are needed to sit 50 students? These short videos are meant for instructors or students wishing to give a practical framework to problem-solving. We first introduce a three-step process: Understanding, Strategizing, and Implementing. We then present 10 strategies (Posamentier & Krulik, 2015) and explain each of them individually in separate videos. NCSSM, a publicly funded high school in North Carolina, provides exciting, high-level STEM learning opportunities.
