- 14. Other methods offered by participants Algebraic Method 30x = 27(x + 5) Hence 30x = 27x + 27 x 5 30x – 27x = 135 3x = 135 x = 45 where x is the number of books on each shelf at first Model Method The bar model may look rather cumbersome with one bar of 30 units and an equal bar of 27 longer units. 5

- 17. There was a hypothesis by a participant that the area is also related to dots shown by arrows – dots that are “untouched” by the polygon when the smallest possible rectangle is drawn around the polygon. Can you figure this one out? National Singapore Math Summer Institute Denver, USA
- 18. Applying this hypothesis, the square has 4 “untouched” dots and the rhombus has 8 “untouched” dots National Singapore Math Summer Institute Denver, USA
