POTW FORMAT

*If you need a hard copy please ask your teacher.*

1. The Important Details

- Read and reread all of the given information and instructions to ensure understanding

- (e.g., identify key information needed to solve the problem).

- You can Highlight OR Use Jot Notes OR do both.

2. Show Your Work

1. Communicate mathematical learning by combining various representations / strategies.

· (e.g., words with diagrams, charts or graphs with verbal descriptions, tables, guessing and checking, logical thinking etc.)

2. Respond clearly with sufficient detail so that their thinking can be understood

· (e.g., Wrap up your work with a final statement that clearly provides an answer to the question being asked.)

3. Show Your Thinking - Justify

- Show your work another way.

- How would you show the steps to your solution so someone else can follow your thinking?

- Be more specific and give more details.

- Express your work in a different way.

Original POTW Guidelines to success

(these are the steps you need to follow for every POTW - also don't forget the date):

1. Retell:

write the important points in your own words.

2. Choose a Strategy:

a) break the problem into parts then solve each part individually
b) make a model, draw a diagram
c) choose the appropriate operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
d) work backward
e) look for a pattern
f) use logical thinking
g) guess and check
h) make a table

3. Work:

show your work

4. Proof:

why is your answer reasonable?
at this step really explain why you think your answer is right.
Did you double check your answer?
***remember that one way to prove your answer is to first make an estimate and then compare your final answer to the estimate - usually if your solution and final answer are similar then your final answer should be correct***

5. Final Answer

Conclude your solution with a final wrap up sentence
