Would You Rather

This is a different way to play the 'Would You Rather...' game

Normally, a 'Would You Rather...' doesn't have a right answer, it's based on how well you can argue your point.

In this mathematical version, you can still argue your point - but proving you are 'right' is useful too.

It can be helpful to ask children to talk about how they work on problems like this. What do they do first after they have read the question? What strategies do they use? How do they know the answer they have found is a good one?

If these 'Would You Rather...' questions have been useful we have a whole book-full of them. You can find it on Amazon.
