What is the shortest distance?
• What is the shortest distance from A to B if you have to stay on the grid lines?
• Verify by having 2 drawings. Explain how you know there isn’t a shorter distance.
1x systems
• For the 1x blocks, find the length of a shortest path and how many shortest paths there are. Note any patterns.
2x systems
• For the 2x blocks, find the length of a shortest path and how many shortest paths there are. Note any patterns.
3x systems
• For the 3x blocks, find the length of a shortest path and how many shortest paths there are. Note any patterns.
