The Border Problem Sue is tiling a 10 by 10 patio. She wants darker tiles around the border. How many 1 by 1 tiles will be in the patio when its a finished product? How many tiles will she need for the border? Show the arithmetic you used to get your answer. Describe and explain why your method makes sense. Use algebraic expressions to write a rule for each method.

Performance Strategies for ELLs Reading Listening Discussing Explaining Writing Representing Presenting

When planning, ask What task can I give that will build student understanding? rather than How can I explain clearly so they will understand? Grayson Wheatley, NCCTM, 2002

1.Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4.Model with mathematics. 5.Use appropriate tools strategically. 6.Attend to precision. 7.Look for and make use of structure. 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
