The Slinky Task - FAQs and the mistakes I made that almost kept me from sharing this task.
The Slinky Task – FAQs
The Slinky Task was dropped a couple of weeks ago and I've spoken to a number of people who had a lot of questions about it, so I've added some interesting facts (FAQs) about this task below. Enjoy. How did you come up with this idea for the task? I was at a nearby school last fall working with one of the teachers there and a friend of mine, who also works there, mentioned that some students were eating lunch in her room and one of the boys was playing with a slinky that she had.
