Lagston's Ant

I thought that Lagston's ant was very interesting. I could use this in my classroom for observation. I would have my students predict what the ant is going to do before I would show them the outcome. I would compare the ant to a Algebra problem so they colud always know that though observation there is always a outcome.I would explain to my students that they could not predict a answer for an Algebra Problem unless they know the formula two the problem. Once they know the formula they could find the output through the steps from the formula.
