DescriptionResearcher Amy Martino posed two related tasks to the students. In this clip, the students work on designing a rod that can be called one half when the blue rod is called one. Erik and Alan discuss how an existing rod cannot be used, and other students suggest configurations of the new rod that could be designed to meet the specifications. Michael, David, Brian F., and Meredith then discuss if it is possible to design a set of rods that contain a rod that can be called one half for any given rod that is called one.
