Group Trajectory

The team starts as a very engaged group of four participants who take up on the grid-world task very actively. Very little participation by fg in the first session. A total number of 7 questions are posted, three of which received at least a candidate answer:

• What's the minimum distance to get from A to B? (dc)
• What is the maximum distance from point a to b if u can only travel on each line once? (mt)
• How would you get to B in 11 steps? (dc)
• What if you could travel diagonally across the squares? can we modify the problem to think of new questions? (dc)
• How about if you can't travel in the same direction more than once in a row? (dc)
• What is the least number of lines to get to each of the 4 corners and to point B? (mt)
• What is the maximum number of lines you can go on without let the lines touch? (mt) (i ment distance srry not lines)

The session ends because they realize the time set for the activity has expired (#1MATHWHIZ: moderator, it is after 9). Some interesting ideas in the post-session chat (e.g. Sancho: well some people didnt participate as much; #1MATHWHIZ: can we some questions that the other groups thought of)
