We solved the domino puzzle and got a sum of 14 on each side. We don’t think 11 or 12 are possible. Can you explain?
My first grade student also solved each side for the total of 14.
You are correct, 11 and 12 are not possible. But those are the possible solutions to the other Domino Window task if your students what to give it a try! Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
