How could we use this activity to teach?

Key Shifts in MathFocus, Coherence, Rigor

Deep Understanding - Students deeply understand and can operate easily with a math concept before moving on. They learn more than the trick to get the right answer. They learn the math.

Application - Students are expected to use math and choose the appropriate concept for application even when they are not prompted to do so.

Dual Intensity - Students are practicing and understanding. There is more than a balance between these two things in the classroom - both are occurring with intensity.
