Figure Matrix Problem Solving

Mrs. Hilton guides second graders through a challenging lesson on figure matrices, encouraging them to pause and think critically about each problem. The lesson covers ten different matrices, each with unique patterns and solutions. Students are encouraged to use paper or a whiteboard to jot down answers and are given explanations for each solution. The video concludes with encouragement to continue practicing and a resource for further exercises.
