    Dan Meyer argues that math education needs reform by engaging students in patient problem solving through asking minimal questions that allow students to build problems themselves and rely on their own intuition. He provides an example math problem about calculating the surface area and volume of an octagonal water tank and estimating how long it would take to fill, encouraging a makeover of traditional math teaching that focuses more on understanding than rote answers.

    encourage student intuition

    A water tank is in the form of a regular octagonal prism.


    The base octagon has side length 11.9cm. The lateral
    edge of the water tank is 36cm.
    a) What is the surface area of the base?
    b) What is the volume of the water tank?

    How long will it take to fill the tank?
