Talk:Quadrilaterals Exploration
I added mnemonic labels to the classification descriptions and added "at least" to the K and L descriptions (I think that's what was intended?).
- I like the mnemonic labels. We should ditch the alphabet ones. Bryan 00:33, 23 August 2007 (CDT)
What is that Bogglers link? I can't see what it has to do with quadrilaterals save for a silly comment on subsets, and it's very puzzling to read about puzzles that aren't defined (and the further link is broken). I don't see any value to this.

- I agree. I believe this exploration was basically written by Scott Lee, and this link is to credit him. Instead, let's cite him properly as a reference. I'm going to make the change, but I don't have the full citation - Anneke? Bryan 00:27, 23 August 2007 (CDT)
I like the mnemonic as well. I went ahead and removed the A, B, C etc labels. I will have to look up the reference. It's Scott Kim btw (not Scott Lee) who wrote the exercise originally as a boggler for the Discover magazine. (If memory serves me) Anneke (know: should sign, but have technical problem..)
Should there be a link to the reference, Scott Kim? (I think this is the answer to the question I raised about Bogglers. And maybe my question there is the answer to this question.) Steve 12:47, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
Objectives: I think it's important to mention that this exploration is a very nice one to start the course with. Students have to draw enough representative examples to do the later questions. I mention in class that this shows one has to be thorough and look beyond the superficial when doing exercises in this course. I like the critical thinking required to do all the problems.
Here is a link to the original Bogglers source, which was found in Discover Magazine, July 2000:

However, the link to the solution is broken.
