Just The
Facts: Begin each problem by
identifying what you know about the problem with a list of facts.
You may also want to include information you will need to use that
may not have been in the problem. (example: you may need to know
there are 3 feet in a yard).
Problem Statement: Write a concise
statement of the problem. This restatement should be clear and
brief so that the reader will know exactly what you were asked to
do for each part of the problem. If there are parts to the
problem, label each part with a letter.
Procedure: Give a detailed explanation
of how you came to your solution. Choose a strategy and use it
consistently throughout the problem.
Show it in numbers.
Explain it in words! Use charts
and graphs when appropriate.
Conclusion: State your solution to each
part of the problem in complete sentences. Your answer should be
brief and answer the question from the problem statement.
Extra Credit Extension: Create a
similar question to the original one, that some way extends your
knowledge of the solution. Then solve it! Write up the way it is
slightly different and how you solved it. You do not need to write
the solution to the extra credit in POW format.
