DescriptionIn the fifth clip in a series of six from the second of seven interviews in which 8th grade Stephanie explores Early Algebraic Ideas about Binomial Expansion, the researcher, Carolyn Maher asks Stephanie to substitute numbers in order to test the geometric solution that she has developed for the square of (a+b). When substituting 2 for "a" and 3 for "b" give the correct answer, the researcher asks whether this is sufficient to justify her solution. Stephanie tries another pair of numbers that also result in a correct answer, and affirms that she is convinced, partly because of the numbers, but primarily because of the logic of her geometric solution.
The problems as posed to Stephanie:
Test your solution, that the square of the quantity (a+b) is equal to the square of "a" plus 2 times the product of "a" and "b" plus the square of b, by substituting numbers for "a" and "b".
