sun problem and the lamp problem we got a visual‚ hands on interpretation‚ After measuring shadows and finding out what variables were needed to solve the unit problem the next thing we learned was how to create formulas using an In-Out table. In POW 17 making an In-Out table and identifying patterns was key to finding the formula needed and it is the same situation for solving our unit problem. Although formulas do not relate to shadows‚ they relate to what our unit goal is‚ which is finding a
