Lesson idea. The lesson idea is about a mathematics investigation, where students explore whether two rectanges that have the same area also have the same perimeter. This is of course not the case, but nevertheless this can be a misconception.
Teaching approach. A problem to inspire higher order(ta) questioning(ta) especially in whole class(ta) dialogic teaching(ta) encouraging pupils to engage in mathematical thinking(ta) and language(ta). You could use Geogebra(tool) in this investigation, as an example of same-task group work(ta). (edit)
