Suggestions for teachers to help them teach this lesson
Before the Problem Set, you could have students play "Corn Shucks" or "Appalachian Climb" from Building Conceptual Understanding and Fluency Through Games by the Public Schools of North Carolina ("Corn Shucks" is especially fun since it requires some strategic thinking!).
