Headline Story
M A M A ____ A M
Possible student responses
- The letter M is missing.
- This is a pattern.
- The pair of letters MA keeps repeating.
- There are only the letters M and A, and the same letters are never next to each other.
- If the letter A is in the empty spot, three A’s would be next to each other, so the missing letter must be M.
