What is in the Box and What is Not?
Practice: The teacher shows the students a drawing. For example, the teacher shows them a zigzag, tells them that it is not a ladder, and asks them to think about what could it be. The teacher takes out the papers with this drawing from the box and asks the students how many different things they can transform, giving each student that number of papers. Students continue and contribute to this activity throughout the day.
