Participants will grapple with real-world math problems that require students to ask thought-provoking questions to provide the data to solve a real-world mathematical problem. For example: When purchasing a new bed or bureau how would you determine if you can get it up the stairs and into a second-floor bedroom? Can our friend Pythagoras help?
