Choice Task:

Task Eight A:  Solve the problem in a different way to demonstrate how you used the idea, model, and solution to represent solving the problem in a different ways than the two previous methods that you used to solve the problem.

Task Eight B: Write one sentence that explains how the strategy/method that you used to solve the choice task problem demonstrated how you used the idea, model, and solution to represent the strategy/method used to solve the problem in different ways.
