All School Math Exhibition
1.What POW did you present?
For our All School Math Exhibition, we were given a group and a Problem of the Week we had done at some point during the year. I was grouped with Kaden and Jason and we chose to present the 8th P.O.W, The Economical King.
2. What did you do to prepare for exhibition?
For this Exhibition, we had to teach the P.O.W to the general public, which ended up to mostly be family members of either Jason, Kaden, or I. We had to present the P.O.W and then teach them how to solve it.
3.How did teaching the POW improve your understanding of the problem?
This format of turning us into the teachers was very effective in deepening my understanding of the problem. In this P.O.W, there are two parts to the solution. I was always slightly confused on the second solution. However, after having to dissect it and really think about it made me totally understand it and even be able to confidently present it to our audience.
