Discuss/reflect

  • Can you draw some other ways to see the dots?

  • Michael saw chunks of six and Penny saw chunks of four when they looked at the dots. Do you see any other chunks hidden in the dots?

  • Ask someone else how they saw the dots. They could describe it to you and see if you can draw a picture of their way of seeing the dots.

  • Try drawing a different collection of dots. Show them to a partner and see if they can close their eyes and imagine the dots.
