Some problems are worth standing up for. On exploration days you work in random groups of three at the vertical whiteboards, on a problem nobody has taught you to solve yet — that is the point, not an oversight. The technique arrives after the thinking, and it lands harder because your group already needs it. Expect to be stuck; being stuck is the work, as Why Struggle Is the Point explains.
| Exploration | The question |
|---|---|
| The Function Machine | What makes a machine trustworthy? |
| Folding Paper to the Moon | How many folds to reach the moon? |
| How High Is That? | How do you measure the unreachable? |
| The Ferris Wheel | What does going in circles look like over time? |
| Patterns That Count | What comes next — and what comes 100th? |
| The Allowance Choice | A dollar a week, or a doubling penny? |
Hints nudge; they never march. Ask, and you get a question back — see Getting Unstuck. No solutions appear on these pages, ever: the class builds them together, per Our Classroom Norms.
