For each POW assignment, you will be given a specific problem or set of problems to
solve.

COMPLETING YOUR POW ASSIGNMENTS

• Carefully write up the work that you do solving the problem. The scoring guide will be used to score your work.
  • Show your solution path and all of your work.
  • Clearly note strategies and failed attempts.
  • “Picture perfect solutions” are not our goal.
  • Communicating our problem solving process is our goal.

• For each POW:
  • Look at your copy of "Mathematics Problem Solving Tips", it gives easy to understand tips on how to demonstrate your problem solving skills.
  • Look at your copy of the state scoring guide. The state scoring guide will be used to score your work.
  • For the POW problems in Math 211 please write on blank, lined or graph paper and label the upper right hand corner with your name, Math 211 and the POW number (example POW 1.1). An official scoring stamp will be used to record your score at the top of the page.
