Part 3: Posing a Problem [Begin: 14:19]
|
To begin development of the fourth kind of calculation, the teacher presents a problem
using the overhead projector. The problem reads, "An iron sheet with a length
of 0.5m and a width of 20cm weighs 3.9kg. Calculate the height (thickness) of the
sheet (7.8g/cm3)." The teacher leads a brief introductory discussion of the
problem, reminding students to think about "our three step [method]: given,
wanted, and calculation path." |
