InterACTions:
Let’s go to the kitchen and find a recycled cereal box.
Can you help me cut the front of the box only. What is a good strategy for this? I see you’re having a hard time. Do you have any other strategy?
Remember not to say I can't. Your brain believes you. Say I’ll try a different way.
Now, let’s make little snakes. What color would you like to make? How many?
Let’s count how many you made? As you count, touch and move.
Great job! Let squeeze them into the box and create a maze for the marbles to travel.
Awesome I like your maze, how can we make it harder now? Let’s take our floorbook and plan a design this time. Are you up for the challenge?
