PoW taking place: math problem-solving moment of the week
"Many students received feedback on their work thanks to our
mentor group this week. I know that at least one student took
full advantage of the feedback that was given to her - Kathryn
revised her answer not once but twice, incorporating
suggestions from her mentor."
- Annie, commenting on the FunPoW's Latest Solution
