Pringle Ringle - Three-Act Task

Video Length 22 min.

This Three-Act Task comes from Graham Fletcher at www.gfletchy.com
This was given over two days.  Act 1 was a half an hour on day one.  Acts 2 & 3 were a half hour on day two.  I'm still working on how to fine tune the process!

Thanks to Mr. Hively for loaning out his classroom!

Students roll the dice and place that number as the ones of the expander cards.  They then draw a card with a 0,1 or 2 for the tens position.  Students will take turns drawing a card and represent it with base-ten blocks.  They could also do it together to compare after they are done building the number.
