Without solving, state whether the triangle has one, two, or no solutions (1, 2, or triangles are possible). Justify your answer. Given triangle ABC, a=6, b=10, and m.
- A: A fraction 1/b can be represented as a whole partitioned (or divided) into b equal parts. For example, if a figure is divided into 2 equal parts, then each part represents 1/2 of the whole. Notice that the rectangle in the problem is divided into 5 equal parts and one of those parts is shaded. Therefore, it represents the fraction 1/5.
- The purpose of the Doing What Works (DWW) - Common Core State Standards Mathematics (CCSSM) Transition Project is to use Doing What Works materials to provide mathematics specialists and teacher leaders with suggested opportunities for school and school district professional development activities related to the Standards of Mathematical Practice and the Content Domains for the Grades K-8.
- FPSPI is an international program involving thousands of students from more than 36 states and 7 countries worldwide. This interdisciplinary program promotes skills to overcome obstacles when confronting challenges and developing solutions to social, political, scientific, economic, and technological issues.
- Problem Solving. Gestalt approach. Stimulus–response approach. Information-processing approach. Frequent references to “the problem-solving process,” “the decision-making process,” and “the creative process” may suggest that problem solving can be clearly distinguished from decision making or creative thinking from either, in terms of the processes involved.

Mathematical Practice(s):
MP 1 - Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
MP 2 - Reason abstractly and quantitatively
MP 4 - Model with mathematics
MP 5 - Use appropriate tools strategically
Description: This summary describes a wide range of research-based recommendations for guiding instruction in problem solving. Three important strategies that apply at all grade levels and in all areas of math are: use of visual representations, encouragement of multiple approaches to solving problems, and linking mathematical and algebraic notation to intuitive approaches.
