Your Learning Goal:
In this course, you will often be asked to look for multiple ways of seeing a pattern or concept. As you study the pattern in this lesson, work with your team to find multiple ways to see and describe the pattern and how it is growing. The following questions can help guide your discussion: How can we describe the pattern? Is there another way to see or describe it? Does anyone see it differently?

Your Learning Goal:
One of the important Ways of Thinking that you will develop throughout this course is sense making. In other words, you will be asked to think and talk through challenging problems until they make sense to you. You will know that an idea makes sense when you understand it so well that you can explain it to others and answer their questions about it. In this lesson, you will make sense of a challenging logic problem and work with your team to explain your ideas.

Your Learning Goal:
In this lesson, you will work with your team to predict just how tall such a tower would be. In order to make sense of this question, you will measure some pennies and investigate the relationship between the height of a tower of pennies and the number of pennies in that tower. This is an example of a special relationship, called a proportional relationship, which you will learn more about later in this course.
