We persisted in solving novel problems with our process: PLAN, ATTACK, CHECK, REFLECT.

There are several documents for this unit that will be helpful to us:

• The introduction and rationale for this unit.
• The flowchart explaining the process to which we will adhere.
• The problem solving rubric by which your problem write ups will be assessed.
• The calendar of important dates, and problems for this chapter, hints included.

Here are the marked slides from today's class.

Your HW:

• Three final drafts are due by email on Monday, September 30 at 8AM.
• We will only be working on problem solving in class on Tuesday and Wednesday, so budget your time accordingly.

As well, most of you received the problems you did from Chapter 1.

• Here again is a description of the assignment.
• Worked out solutions to the classwork.
• Worked out solutions to the homework.
• Worked out solutions to the HL optional problems.

Important reminders:

• Mon. 9/30, 8AM: final drafts for three problems due by email.
• Word documents may include pictures of diagrams. Make sure you still describe the process.
• Write up: four sections (PLAN, ATTACK, CHECK, REFLECT) based on the flowchart and the rubric (see links to documents above).
• If you make a CONJECTURE, make sure you try to PROVE or EXPLAIN that CONJECTURE.
