How we taught the concept of similar triangles using an optical method of estimating large distances as a corresponding activity. The derivation of a formula to calculate one source of measurement error is included and is a nice exercise in the use of the properties of similar triangles.

The entire process involved when an untried problem is presented to a group of teachers. The lesson learned form their struggles are helpful reminders that we should present open-ended problems to our high school students.

Writing about the executive processes of problem solving, difficulties encountered, alternative strategies that might have been used, and the problem solving process in general helped students in the treatment group to learn to use executive processes more quickly and more effectively than students in the control group.
