Problem Solving Workshops + Publishing Workshops = Great Math Reports

We began a new workshop we are calling a Publishing Workshop.  In this workshop, we have already solved the problem and had a congress about it, so the students are able to focus just on the writing and publishing.  We have been using the computers and word processing software because it makes revising and editing so much easier.  As a result of these publishing workshops, the students found some very creative ways to explain or show that their answer was correct.  We will continue using the Problem Solving Workshop and the Publishing Workshop in the coming months.
