Find the Dimensions: Students Solving a Tiling Problem
Obara, Samuel
Australian Mathematics Teacher, v74 n1 p31-37 2018
Students learn mathematics by solving problems. Mathematics textbooks are full of problems, and mathematics teachers use these problems to test students' understanding of mathematical concepts. This paper discusses how problem-solving skills can be fostered with a geometric tiling problem.
