• 2 How many pennies will be in the jar after 10 rounds? How did you figure this out?

NOTE

Students use a table to record the total number of pennies in a jar, given that the number of pennies changes at a constant rate. In class, students have been using what they know to figure out the total number of pennies in a jar after a round that is not listed in a table.
