The giant gummy bear problem has been floating around the blogosphere for a while. When I first saw it, I knew I wanted to use it. I finally have the perfect opportunity in Foundations of Mathematics 20 this year. (Saskatchewan Curriculum).
History of the Problem (As far as I know)
- Originally presented by Dan Anderson here. Included original Vat19 video and driving question about scale.
- Adapted by John Scammell here. Edited video and new driving question.
- Dan Meyer provided a 3Act framework for the problem here.
- Blair Miller adapted his own 3Act structure here.
My apologies go out to anyone else who played with or re-posted an original interpretation on the problem.
