Solution Section
Our Solution is that the farmer began with 3,009 eggs. This would be evenly divided by groups of 7's but when grouped into pairs, three's, four's, five's, and sixes, there would always be one egg remaining., We started working with prime numbers that 7 could go into. We found that every number ending in 9 over 3,000 would work. For example: 6,009 . Our next step would be to figure out the formula to solve this equation.
2. "Personal Pride"
Initially I thought I could solve this problem the day we were assigned it. I really thought 49 eggs total - would work! Clearly I underestimated the work involved. Carlee's Mathematical Practice and Expectation: Reason Abstractly and Quantitatively- My partners and I worked into unconventional ways to reach our answer. There were no set guidelines or equations to get us there, it was as if we were working backwards. We had the information of what the answer was, then we had the answer, next we needing to know how to get to that answer.
3. "Group Gauge"
My grouped worked well together. I created half of our physically piece; the poster. Our strengths were that we all got along and we willing to help group members who didn't understand. We could improve in the fact that some would not listen when we'd explain how we were solving our work, and members were on their cell phones a lot.
I was to find the equation with my group!!!
