Illuminations: Wrapping It Up

In the first four lessons of this unit, students investigated the Paper Pool game, collected data, identified patterns, and made predictions about the number of hits, the pocket in which the ball lands, and the path of travel.

In this lesson, students finalize their work and write a report that summarizes all of their findings.
