This open-ended investigation provides an opportunity for students to develop problem solving skills and explore patterns while applying number skills. Posed in the context of friends sending each other cards, it asks students to find how many cards are sent based on the number of friends, and to look for patterns that emerge in the results. The Teachers' Resources page offers rationale, suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, and ideas for extension and support.
