Table 1 Mapping between Ollerton’s “Starting Point”, the planning discussion and “Card 1”
Ollerton 2002, p. 1 Planning comments Card 1
x+y=7 Mari: If you give them that
(x+y=7) one can find two
numbers each, in the group can
find two, and so … they will have
different (pairs) when they put
them together (T)
x+y=7
Starting point 1. Each student write
down two whole
numbers which add
up to 7.
Ask everyone to write
down two whole
numbers that add up to 7.
What and how many
different answers
are there?
Mari: Which group can find the most
[number pairs]? (T)
2. Can you find more
such number pairs?
3. How many such
number pairs can
you find?
Turn the numbers into
ordered pairs and
graph them
Mari: There will be a [reward] for
those who find the most points here!
4. Draw these number
pairs on millimeter
Not points! Most paper numbers (T)
Liv: One must not imply that we shall
have a straight line (T)
Kristin: Say it in a way that does not say
anything about the thing that will be
drawn. Hoping that some will possibly
try to draw. (T)
