WK 9: Visual Thinking


My strategy: My page is on the left written with yellow. My strategy was to go by smallest to biggest size E. So I started by counting 16 little ones, 9 medium ones, and 1 large one. I added all them up to get an answer of 26.
My boyfriend's strategies: He is the blue writing on the right. His strategy was to do the opposite, count starting with the largest E to the smallest. His answer came out to 21.

We were both wrong, the answer was 44, so I guess you could say both of are strategies weren't good enough.

My strategy: I am again on the left. My strategy was to say in order the colors over and over until I found the matching pair. For instance, for the first one, I said to myself, starting from black, "red, blue, green, yellow." I would repeat this until I found the matching, (E).
My boyfriend's strategy: He again is on the right. His strategy was to see which colors are next to the black triangle (i.e. red is on the right and blue is on the left) and then see which others have the same thing. Then make sure once a match is found, the other two colors match as well.

We both used the black triangle as our starting point, which is interesting, and we both succeeded in getting the correct answer.
