Bongard Problems

Bongard Problems (BPs) are a good way to practice constructing

an argument, reason abstractly, and being precise in our language. In
the space below, write your rule for what holds true for all
images on the left hand side of the BP that does not hold true
for any images on the right hand side. This work should be done
by yourself first and then as a pair or table group, remembering that
your first draft does not equal your final draft. Your group will present
your rule to the class for critique and feedback.
