Teaching Ideas

In our careers, we occasionally discover a particularly rich problem that supports many goals of mathematics education. One such problem is the quilting problem presented in figure 1. This problem engages students at many levels, has multiple possible solution paths, lends itself to a variety of representations, and connects many mathematical ideas. Although this particular problem appears in a high school textbook in a chapter on sequences (Rubenstein et al. 1998, p. 307), it is also accessible to students from a wide variety of backgrounds from middle school through college. Before reading further, try to solve the problem yourself, preferably using more than one method.
