Abstract
(type = summary)
In this edited and narrated episode from the Private Universe Project in Mathematics, five tenth-grade students consider two different problems. FIRST PROBLEM STATEMENT: “Choosing from two colors of Unifix® cubes, red and yellow, how many total combinations exist for towers 5 tall, that each contains two red? Convince us that you have found them all.” SECOND PROBLEM STATEMENT (Ankur’s Challenge): “How many towers can you build four tall, selecting from cubes available in three different colors of Unifix® cubes, so that the resulting towers contain at least one of each color?” During the session Ankur and Michael work together at one end of the table and Jeff, Romina, and Brian work at the other end. Ankur and Michael use binary notation to solve the first problem. While waiting for Jeff, Romina, and Brian to complete the first tower problem of five-tall with a choice of two colors, Ankur poses a new question about towers four tall with a selection of three colors: “How many with at least one of each color?” Romina develops a notation that she calls “ones, zeroes, and Xs” to represent the three colors in the problem. First at the table and then at the chalkboard, Romina presents her reasoning to the others as she works to convince them that there thirty-six total towers that meet Ankur’s criteria. She shows them her representation to justify the six possible arrangements for two “1s” in the four positions of the tower. She fills the blank positions with “X0” or “0X” for the other two colors. She then explains that the resulting twelve towers would be multipied by three to account for the three different colors of cubes available.
