| In class this week, Becky asked students to create a generalized formula based on a pattern of expanding staircases. Students built staircases with 1, 3, 6 and 10 tiles. Their next step was to predict how many tiles would be in the tenth staircase in the series. One table combined all of their tiles and made a bunch of paper tiles so they could build the 10th version (it has 55 tiles). It's unusual to see students having this much fun in a high school math class, but it's something Becky is hoping to encourage more often. |

Sure looks like Abe and Cecelia are getting serious in their relationship. Great couple!
