movie ticket stub imag with puzzle text: "THE MISSING DOLLAR (?) 3 students go to the movie and the ticket seller charges $30, they each pay $10. (side note: first clue this is a vintage problem!) Later, the ticket seller realizes the discounted rate is 3 tickets for $25. He finds the students to return the $5. Rather than figuring out how to split the $5 evenly, the students take $1 each and give the honest seller the other $2 as a tip. Each student ended up paying $9 and the seller got $2. 3*9+2=29. WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?"

screen shot of lesson outline that shows: Snapshot Engage Students watch a video trailer from the animated game "Fortnite" and discuss whether or not the avatars look "real." Other games, animated movies, toys, and depictions of humans in media, as well as what they have in common, are included in the discussion. Explore Using a doll, action figure, stuffed plush, or other toy, students determine whether their model looks real and proportional based on the average measurements (height, waist, arms, legs) of those in their group. Explain The class shares data and uses that collective data to determine if any of the toys are mathematically proportional. Extend Students calculate what their own dimensions would be if they were as tall as their group's toy. Evaluate Students use their calculations to create, draw, or otherwise model themselves as a doll, action figure, stuffed plush, or another toy.
