"Think Tank" Problem Solving

This writing across the curriculum lesson was written by NumberFix Coordinator, Holly Young, who believes it would work well with students in grades 7-12.

Student Samples Page:

Below, find final, published products from four of Holly's high school students who wrote problems all year and then published one set to share at the class's "lunch at the museum." The student samples provided are from a Trigonometry class. The problems that Holly picked for the students to use were from past AMC 12 tests and The Mathematics Teacher Magazine calendars.

If you have an excellent sample that you can photograph and send to us after teaching this lesson, we'll say "Thanks!" by sending you a copy of one of the NNWP's Print Resources for your classroom. Contact Holly (hyoung@washoe.k12.nv.us) if you're interested.
