Creative Problem

This activity is one of the more stimulating and enlightening I have discovered. It has worked well and with similar results in classes of mathematically gifted students in grades 2–10, in a class of advanced high school seniors, and in in-service workshops for teachers! A wide range? Yes, and I feel certain that it would work in almost any situation. Using colored yarn, participants are asked to create geometric figures. Since yarn is not a familiar “output device,” it always supplies an ample number of problems.
