What is a write-up?

A write-up is a page on your website that shows exploration and presentation for at least two topics presented on the investigations page. At the end of the course, each student should have 6 write-ups (two topics for each write-up). Each write-up needs to clearly communicate what important mathematics you found and how your findings relate to the problems presented.

When you are putting together your write-ups, consider your target audience. Your audience should include classmates or classroom teachers. The write-up should communicate the mathematics in such a way that any member of your audience can understand and follow your work. This means that grammar and spelling should be correct, images should be used to help point out your findings, correct mathematics symbols should be used, and mathematics concepts should be explained in detail. Feel free to use a word processing program to help you when you are organizing your ideas.
