Hopscotch Goats

I believe this activity, in this format, was originally published by NCTM. I have seen it with frogs on lily pads, and I have used the principle in the classroom with seats and children.

It is important in our math's classrooms that we incorporate more problems/investigations like this where students can not just say, "I know the answer!"  These types of activities encourage lateral thinking, investigation and blockages which students need to get used to.

I hope it proves successful in your math's class
