Example to Show Students

Below is an example that may be used to help explain expectations.

Susan is making a rectangular area rug with a similar design to a square rug she made earlier. (MHR pg. 212)
a) What are the dimensions if the new rug is 2 ft longer and 1 ft narrower than the square rug?

b) Write an expression for the area of the new rug.

c) If the square rug is 3 ft by 3 ft, which rug has the greater area?

Poor Solution (5/10)  - the solution is correct but limited justification and communication.

Good Solution (10/10) - correct solution and clearly explained.
