Here are my notes from 9/6/12
Figure out what the problem is, read the directions
Notice the pattern/shapes
Notice the combination on the page and our assumptions on the world or past experience
Our knowledge of puzzles tell us that the blank is going to be one of these 5 shapes
Notice that there are different orientations
Look at the problem from different angles
Notice that the directions are at the bottom so the creator would want you to look at it from that angle
Pattern might be by row or my column
Sets of two, repeated (up and down, diagonal)
Only 1 set of two going across
When you don’t know use other resources, such as the internet
Answer: upside down club
If you want to figure it out look at it in different ways
How we read: left to right starting at the top
Read out loud: Notice a pattern?
Replace the diamond with a period
Notice the pattern repeats each time while adding a shape
..club.clubsquare.
Before each heart there will be an upside down club, so the blank is an upside down club
Obstacles:
Only some patterns worked while others didn’t
Analysis:
1. Name what you see (coding)
2. Classify (categorizing)
3. Patterns
4. Hypothesis, Theory, Story for how the data fits together
5. Test the theory
