The open ended problem that I had to do was called The Crazy Fraction Problem. You had to consider an equation and plug in numbers as the variables to make it a true equation. the problem was 1 over a minus 1 over b equals 1 over c. You have find values of a, b, and c to make it a true equation. There were many values that you could plug in to make this a true equation. There was also a challenge question asking how many values there could be to make the equation true. I collaborated with a lot of my peers trying to figure out some cool ways to solve the problem. We came up with some good ways and techniques to solve the problem and had fun too. We came to the conclusion that if the b variable was twice the a variable, then the problem would always come out true. It made the problems simple to figure out and we could plug in a lot of different numbers. We tried a lot of other different ways to solve the the problem, mainly just being random and plugging in our favorite numbers. One of our favorite solutions was plugging in 7 as the a variable, 14 as the b variable, and getting a number for c. As I said before, if the b is twice the a variable, then you always get a nice clean answer. It makes doing the problem easy and simple. because if you get to choose the variables you plug in, why not make it easy? As for the challenge problem, I said there could be infinite solutions. The number line goes on forever, making there be infinite solutions. Because there are endless numbers you can plug in. I learned that there are so many different ways and techniques to do a problem. Working with other people can really help you think of new ways to do things. I really liked how long we had to do it, because I would randomly think of new ways to do it throughout the week. It was interesting to see other peoples ideas and thoughts on the problem. Peoples perspectives on things were different from mine, but they worked just a well. It was a really fun problem and I look forward to more open ended problems in the future.
