Mystery Bags Game Once a gold prospector accumulated some gold, he brought it to a government office for weighing. The office had a pan balance and a collection of lead blocks of known weights. The would put the gold on one side and try various combinations of lead weights until both sides balanced.
the game- what is weight of gold in each “mystery” bag? To help pass the time when things got slow, the officials made up a game. One official would take one or more empty bags and fill them with the same amount of gold. Each bag, weighed THE SAME. The bags of equal weight were called “mystery bags”. The game- the officials would mix “mystery bags” and lead weights on the pan balance so that both sides balanced (equal weight) GAME- how much does the mystery bag weigh?
Mystery Bags Game- how much does each bag weigh? Be ready to explain HOW YOU KNOW you are right Each group will be assigned one problem to put on the board. All students must do all the problems for class work- to be submitted.
