ALT The top left picture is a diagram using base ten blocks. There are two 100 flats, with five 10 rods underneath each one and seven 10 rods along the side. There is a 5x7 rectangle of 1 cubes in the corner. The bottom right picture is a diagram using algebra tiles. There are two x^2 flats, with five x rods underneath each one and seven x rods along the side. There is a 5x7 rectangle of 1 cubes in the corner. "Q4: What is the same about these two images? What is different?"

ALT The top left image shows an area model with 100, 70, and 9 labeled horizontally across the top, and 60 and 4 vertically along the side. The first row of boxes are labeled 60x100=6000, 60x70=4200, 60x9=540. The second row of boxes are labeled 4x100=400, 4x70=280, 4x9=36. Underneath, the products 6000, 4200, 540, 400, 280, ad 36 are added for a total of 11,456.The top left image shows an area model. The bottom right image shows a partial products model for the multiplication problem 179x64. The partial products are 9x4=36. 70x4=280, 100x4=400, 9x60=540, 70x60=4200, and 100x60=6000, added for a total of 11456. "Q3: What is the same about these two images? What is different?"

ALT Top left is a text image of a math task: Rewrite each of the following expressions involving complex numbers in the form a+bi where a and b are real numbers. (3+2i)(2-5i) (5/2 + 7i/2)^2 - (5/2 +i/2)^2 (5+4i)(17-13i)(5+3i)(17-13i) (1+i)(13-4i)(1-i) 1+ i + i^2 + i^3 Bottom right is three vertically stacked emoticons: a shocked face, a mad face, and a sad face. "Q1: What is your first reaction to this task? Is it a thought, a feeling?"
