The problem discussed in this article was presented at the Delaware Teacher Enhancement Partnership Workshop in July 1994. The problem incorporates manipulatives; pattern building; graphing calculators, such as the TI-82; and matrix applications and functions and can be adapted to any level from middle school through high school. It covers the topics of geometry, algebra, discrete mathematics, and technology and can be explored with cooperative learning. The matrix application is emphasized in this presentation, but other features of the problem, including polynomials and the use of lists on the TI-82, are also worthy of attention. A worksheet containing the problem is included for students.
