Summary

Give kids a taste of a sequence, let them build an understanding, and then see how far their predictions can take them.

  1. Students will note patterns and look for how many slices there will be at step 6.
  2. After checking the answer (it's 64), we'll extend the pattern and ask students to predict step 20.
  3. I reveal the answer (1,048,576) and then propose a challenge! What if you split pieces three ways instead of two, tripling the pieces at each step?
