This is the third last problem of the school year. We hope you have enjoyed receiving the problems this year and thank you for being a part of Problem of the Week.

In this week’s problem, you will create a shape by plotting points on a grid. If you are not printing the page, you may enjoy our interactive version which can be found at the bottom of the problem. Enjoy.

A link to the solution to last week’s problem is included in this email. This problem was separated into three parts, but for an extra challenge you could try to solve part c) without looking at parts a) or b).

Problem of the Week is intended to promote an enjoyment of mathematics and problem solving among our subscribers. As such, we would love to hear from you. In last week’s email we sent a link to a short survey we created to help us get feedback from our subscribers. If you haven’t had a chance to fill out the survey yet, here is the link again: uwaterloo.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cBnd9TUIHgXSFvw

We hope you enjoy your week, and happy problem solving.
