Note to teacher:
Doing this activity once with a class helps students develop strategies. It is
only when they do this activity a second time that they will have the
opportunity to practise those strategies. That is when the learning is
consolidated. Click the button above to regenerate another version of this

This page was really designed for projection on a whiteboard but if you really want the students to have access to it here is a concise URL for a version of this page without the comments:
Transum.org/go/?Start=April26
However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below.
Here is the URL which will take them to a related student activity.
