The Jedi Knight Problem asks students to use their reasoning skills to transport Jedi Knights and Storm Troopers between two planets using only one spaceship. The students approached this problem as a Think-Pair-Share. First they spent time individually thinking about how they might solve the problem. Once they had tried a few solutions they then paired with a classmate and compared answers, trying to prove to each other that they had found a plan that worked. Once the pairs had come to an agreement, they then prepared to share their thinking with the rest of the class focusing on how to clearly communicate their thinking and their strategies.
