Description

This Figure This! problem asks which windshield wiper, the one on a car or the one on a truck, clears the most area on the windshield. Even though simple geometry and mathematical skills are used to solve this problem, the challenge is realizing how, and in what order, to use these skills. Use this link to access the It's Raining! Web site through the Illuminations resource review for grades 6-8.
