ACT
In this task, 6th graders are presented with a large square divided into 9 squares and the center square is then removed. They are asked to find the area of the 8 remaining squares. Each smaller square is divided in the same way and the sequence of steps is repeated, and then it is done a third time. Students predict what will happen after this is done 10 times. To see the pattern, they will need to work with fractions and exponents as well as make a table. Aligns with 6.G.A.1 and 6.EE.A.1.
