This problem highlights WHY GEOMETRY IS TRULY AMAZING!! Taken from a Japanese workbook, students go on a multi-step journey in discovering the area of an isosceles triangle :) 
 
Please check out my YouTube Channel "Math Challenge" for the SOLUTION! SCAN that QR Code to take you right to the video!
 
I would be SUPER DELIGHTED AND HAPPILY EMBARRASSED LOL if you showed my video to your class explaining the solution! 

I would LOVE to know how the problem worked out for your kiddos :) 
Any requests for future problems is greatly appreciated!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
