the one with the black boxes that I never saw

There were a few people, including me, who missed class today because of the Rosebud Indian Reservation trip. So, I got the gist of the assignment from a few classmates.

Activity: Black Boxes
Purpose: Students must try to discover which shape is hiding in the virtual black box.

The activity came from the FOSS website. Though, once I went to the website, I could not open the link to start the activity. The students in class, however, took paper and wrote each group member's name on it. They then had to figure out what they each thought was contained inside the black boxes, then discuss their predictions and come to a consensus on the contents. Many groups incorrectly predicted what was inside the boxes, but that was because inside the boxes there were other shapes that messed up the perfect outside shape of the box. The class seemed to enjoy the activity.
