Café wall lattice photo with unit grid: students look for light and dark shapes and compare dark to light area by cropping
Launch an open pattern investigation from a real photo
Cropping an 11×11 lattice square from opposite corners: students record % dark and light area for each iteration in a table
Data-gathering task that leads into forming conjectures
Bottom-right corner crops of the lattice: students redo the dark/light area table and ask if symmetry plays a role
Compare with the corner-to-corner crops to test conjectures
Counting lattice pathways from Start to Finish, then comparing the 11×11 lattice grid with two random dark and light grids
Extension prompts for open-ended discussion or early finishers
