Please write-up your solution(s) to the problem and the strategies you used to investigate the problem you chose. I am giving you an example to look at - click here to download a text doc. Maci was one of my students at UGA and has quite the gift for sharing her mathematical problem solving experiences in a written form. Don't get bogged down in the problem - do pay attention to how she really relays the problem solving experience to the reader. You don't have to as prolific as Maci :) But it is such a nice example of a "Write-Up"
