If you are given an outline of a hexagon, can you use pattern block rhombi to completely fill the inside of the hexagon without going over the edge? In this activity, we'll explore whether or not this is possible for a variety of hexagons of different shapes and sizes, and we'll try to use what we find to see if we can come up with strategies for predicting when this will be possible and when it will be impossible.

Imagine that you shoot a ball at a 45 degree angle from the bottom left corner of a pool table. What will happen? In this activity, we'll explore a variety of questions related to this basic set-up and discover how the answers differ based on the dimensions of the table.
