 +__Suggested approach__
 +
 +
 +Read the problem individually.
 + 
 +One group member reads the problem out loud.
 + 
 +Designate one of the whiteboards as the planning board. 
 + 
 +Split the planning board (see example below) into four sections:
 +
 +  * Facts: What information do you have?  (Real World)
 +
 +  * Lacking: What information you need to solve this problem and how might you collect evidence to obtain this information? (Model World)
 +    
 +  * A+A: What approximations and assumptions can you make? (Design System)
 +
 +  * Representations: What representations can you generate to help you understand and solve the problem. (Generate Representation)
 +
 +{{course_planning:planning_board.png}}
 +
 +Once you feel the planning board is complete construct a useable model world to formulate a plan to solve the problem on other whiteboard (Predicting). 
 +
 +The plan should include:
 +
 +  * What is the key idea or concept behind the problem?
 +
 +  * What steps must be taken to solve the problem?
 +
 +Calculate answer based on plan and model world (Make a prediction). 
 +
 +Test this prediction against the real world (Validating):
 +
 +  * Does it make sense or is it reasonable?
 +
 +If model is not validated reflect on model world created and restart modeling process.
 +
 +For the last 5 minutes of the session generate learning issues and tasks for each group member to investigate and return to the group to explain for the next session.
  
  
 ==== Thursday Session ==== ==== Thursday Session ====
 +
 +Spend the first 10 minutes presenting learning issues from previous day to group
 +
 +Read the problem individually.
 +
 +One group member reads the problem out loud.
 +
 +Download and open initial code
 +
 +Save the initial version of the program before you begin to play with it.
 +
 +Designate one of the whiteboards as the planning board. 
 +
 +Split the planning board into four sections as before, you will have to interpret the given code (by playing with it) to fill in the four sections:
 +
 +  * Facts: What information do you have? (Real World)
 +
 +  * Lacking: What information you need to solve this problem? (Model World)
 +    
 +  * A+A: What approximations and assumptions can you make and how might you collect evidence to obtain this information?? (Design System)
 +
 +  * Representations: What representations can you generate to help you understand and solve the problem. (Generate Representation)
 +
 +Once you feel the planning board is complete construct a useable model world to formulate a plan to solve the problem (Predicting). 
 +
 +The plan should include:
 +
 +  * What is the key idea or concept behind the problem?
 +
 +  * What steps must be taken to solve the problem?
 +
 +Calculate answer based on plan and model world (Make a prediction). 
 +
 +Test this prediction against the real world (Validating):
 +
 +  * Does it make sense or is it reasonable?

 +If model is not validated reflect on model world created and restart modeling process.
