Double Bubble Car Wash: Beginning of the Year Problem Solving Math Activity (PP)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Note this is a PowerPoint Presentation & Activity, all in one.
Double Bubble Car Wash: Intro. to Problem Solving through Depth and Complexity
The beginning of the year problem-solving activity is designed to engage your students with mathematical reasoning and critical thinking.
Part1:
Open-ended problem with no correct answer as long as students are able to prove their solution with mathematical evidence.
Part II:
Four unique extensions of the original problem using depth and complexity icons.
Can be used with multiple grade levels depending on their multiplication readiness. Originally designed for gifted 5th-grade students.
Solution: While it is likely not possible for a single-lane, single-franchise car wash to produce millions of satisfied customers each year, multiple-lane, multiple-franchise car washes could certainly support their claim.
