Step 1: As you watch the video, think about math: What math do you notice in the video? What do you wonder (math related questions)?


​
Step 2: Write at least one noticing and one wonder on the sheet (or in your notebook) and if you'd like, on the padlet below by double clicking on any open white space or by clicking the pink + at the bottom right corner. Comments are moderated, so they won't show up right away. Come back later to read what others have posted.

​Step 3: The person in the video made a Pringle Ringle. Pretty cool, huh? How many Pringles did it take to make the Pringle Ringle? Estimate. What is your "too low" estimate, your "too high" estimate, and your "just right" estimate? Write them down. 


​
​
Step 4: Use the picture below to decide what you know. ("I know there were ___ Pringles in the can at first. There were ___ Pringles left in the can.")

Step 5:
 Use what you know to figure out how many Pringles he used. Show your strategy. Prove it to the world! Add labels so that anyone who looks at it can understand what you meant. Need help? Use some of the tools or posters from our Math page.


​Step 6: Tell someone about your work. If you are proud of your work and would like to have it posted on this website, upload a picture of it below. Images are moderated, so you will not see them right away. Thanks for sharing your math thinking!
