This week's PoW is a classic style of problem. Traditionally you may have seen it in the form of "If train A leaves town A at this time going this speed..." This problem is a twist on that usual scenario with a walker and jogger leaving the same town at the same time while a cyclist leaves the second town. Put your thinking caps on for this one! Good luck!

This week's PoW focuses on the details of a problem. It is an assortment of several "trick questions" that make a reader really consider what the wording and situation is. Many are often "tricked" the first time they attempt them, but soon learn their lesson. Good luck!!
Hello again everyone! This weeks's PoW is a neat problem involving bridges and islands. You must find a way to connect all the islands together, but must use the specified number of bridges for each island. The bridges will never cross or go diagonally. They also never go through islands and there is never more than 1 bridge between two islands. Give it a try!

What are PoWs?Problems of the Week are puzzles, problems and questions I give out in a 4 week cycle. The first three weeks are new problems for students to try. The fourth week is a chance for reflection and an opportunity for students to choose one of the three PoWs to hand in as a showcase of their problem solving abilities. Hand-in OutlineArchives
